A FIELD INSTALLATION USING PRESTRESSED PANEL SUBDECKS

This final report is a supplement to an earlier report that covered the installation of the first precast, prestressed panel subdecks installed on a bridge in Virginia. The report discusses the inspection of the decks one year after they were completed and the relative ease of construction using the precast subdeck technique as opposed to permanent steel forms and conventional timber forming. Estimates of the relative costs between the three types of forming and consideration of the speed of construction suggest that the precast subdeck technique can reduce superstructure costs and save time and labor during construction.
