In session 1, a pair of experts from Modjeski and Masters will showcase and discuss recent advancements in how precast concrete is being used on modern bridge projects. Recent project experiences will be featured to demonstrate how creative designs using precast, prestressed concrete enhances the success of numerous bridge projects. The team will walk through design concepts that are available to designers, owners, and contractors to assist them in determining appropriate solutions for precast substructures and superstructures. Additionally, the means and methods in fabrication and construction will be featured, along with design concepts that are currently being proposed for future projects.
Webinar attendees will learn:
How precasting various bridge elements has a positive impact on the constructability of a project
How enhanced constructability has reduced construction cost and project schedules
Designs and resources available, and how to utilize these elements on bridge projects
Benefits to precasting such as: greater project safety; better materials; quality control and finishes; and enhanced aesthetics
