• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated Project 0-7089 to explore the potential of using precast bridge substructures, particularly focusing on precast column solutions for multi- column bents. The project aimed to address the challenges and benefits associated with precast columns, which are known to expedite construction processes but face constraints such as lifting weight and transportation difficulties. The goal was to develop innovative design concepts and construction details that would make precast columns more practical and efficient for use in Texas bridges.
