• Abstract:
  Using prefabricated bridge elements and systems minimizes on-site operations and closure times during bridge construction and contributes to improving durability and reducing the environmental impact of construction. Prefabrication of bridge columns has been very limited as compared to bridge superstructures and bent caps. Nevertheless, some states have started to develop and implement design concepts for precast concrete columns.
