Concrete Bridge Design and Construction. No. 7: Construction methods – precast

This article provides some background and then focuses on the practicalities of steel frame design to Eurocode 3.

A new series from the Concrete Bridge Development Group (CBDG). This article demonstrates the benefits of using concrete.

This article examines the prestressing for a concrete bridge. Prestressing enhances the capacity of a member that is weak in tension, but strong in compression. It effectively creates a new material that is strong in tension. A prestressed bridge has much less steel to be handled, which reduces congestion, leading to easier and quicker concrete placing.
