Abstract
This paper describes a new system for construction of bridge decks using longitudinally post-tensioned precast deck panels. Deck panels, either full or partial depth units, are rolled into position, leveled and post-tensioned while suspended on wheeled forming bogies which ride on the bottom flanges of precast girders. After post-tensioning, final adjustments to the profile grade are made using leveling bolts, then grout is pumped into the void between girders and panels to yield a composite structural system.
