Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension.

But how do you do make a rigid bridge? One solution is to apply stresses to the concrete before it ever bears the load of cars and trucks or a steady schedule of freight trains. Pre-stressed ...

Jasper County has moved forward with the replacement of a bridge along Highway F-17 East over Rock Creek, which will cost more than $1.7 million. County Engineer Michael Frietsch said the bridge — ...

Covers analysis and design of prestressed concrete beams, slabs, box girders, and bridge girders by elastic and ultimate strength methods. Precast and cast-in-place system construction techniques will ...
