• Abstract:
  The importance of rapid construction technologies has been recognized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Iowa ; DOT Office of Bridges and Structures. Recognizing this a two-lane single-span precast box girder bridge was constructed in 2007 over ; a stream. The bridge’s precast elements included precast cap beams and precast box girders. Precast element fabrication and bridge ; construction were observed, two precast box girders were tested in the laboratory, and the completed bridge was field tested in 2007 and ; 2008.
