Category: Completed Projects
Group: Decks
Subject: Transverse Joints for Panels
State: Utah
Abstract: This project is examining new connections between pre-cast bridge deck plates. In accelerated bridge construction off site pre-cast deck panels are often used. Once placed on the bridge girders, these deck panels must be tied together. This research is examining improved connections to ensure proper performance of these panel connections.
