PRECAST SEGMENTAL BRIDGE Definitions Bridge girders are fabricated as a number of precast segments at a casting yard. The precast segments are transported from the casting yard to an erection site. PRECAST SEGMENTAL BRIDGE Advantage and Disadvantage Shorten erection period Provide high quality members Reduce the number of labors The precast segments are erected and unified into a girder by applying longitudinal prestress. PRECAST SEGMENTAL BRIDGE Advantage and Disadvantage Require large space for fabrication and storage Require effective transportation system Require special fabrication & erection machines PRECAST SEGMENTAL BRIDGE Technical Aspects Special care for geometry control Special care for joints and keys Additional prestress Require enough scale of project (contract) FABRICATION & ERECTION Fabrication Method SHORT-LINE MATCH CAST 10. 8. 9.Concrete 4. 7. 5. 6. 3. 2. 1.Start Setting Hanging Shifting Completion Side Soffit Re-bar Segments(n Pouring Form of Form Cage Segment(n+2) & Core & Adjusting Taking n+1) FormSegment(n) Segment(n+1) out Short-line or Long-line Match Cast Erection Method CONCRETE Complete N Balanced Cantilever (for long span) NN+2 N+1 N N+1 N+1 N NN Span-by by-span (for short and medium span) Bulkhead Wet cast Match cast 2

PRECAST SEGMENTAL BRIDGE Recent Applications in Japan RECENT APPROACH The weight of segments are reduced by dividing the cross section into several parts. The segments can be transported through general highway by reducing the weight. The cost of erection machines can be reduced by light weight segments. December 6, 2005 The erection period can not be minimized.
