Abstract
This report describes applications of full depth, precast concrete panels for the rehabilitation of deteriorated bridge decks and the construction of new bridges. Emphasis is placed on systems of construction and the economy derived in using precast concrete for bridge construction. The report presents design systems, details of joints and joint material used for a number of highway and railway bridges. The advantages and a few of the difficulties involved in this construction method are discussed including some pertinent research work.
