Abstract

This chapter delves into the world of precast prestressed concrete adjacent girder bridges, highlighting their widespread use in North America since the 1950s. The focus is on their modularity, ease of construction, and the speed with which they can be erected, often within a 72-hour window. The text explores various connection methods, such as bolting, shear keys, and post-tensioning, and their effectiveness in enhancing durability and load sharing. It also addresses common issues like cracking and water seepage, offering practical solutions to mitigate these problems. The chapter provides a qualitative review of different connection types and discusses considerations regarding durability, constructability, analysis, design, and load sharing. It concludes with recommendations for optimizing bridge performance and longevity, making it an essential read for professionals in the field.
