Evaluation of the Performance of a Short-Span T-Beam Bridge in Buchanan County TR-705
The objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of a proposed short-span bridge alternative currently being considered by Buchanan County. This project will also document the design and construction of the bridge so as to provide valuable information to other counties interested in constructing similar bridges. Additionally, laboratory testing will be completed to verify the efficacy of the proposed joint between adjacent precast beams.
