1 CONCRETE SPLICED GIRDERS IN TEXAS Nicholas Nemec, P.E. TxDOT-BRG October 15, 2014

2 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? 2

3 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? What it is NOT : Continuous For Live Load 3

4 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? Hybrid of 2 existing structure types Prestressed Beam Span Lengths 50 to 150 Segmental Span Lengths > 300 4

5 Similarities to Prestressed Beam Precast Sections Prestressed (strands or tendons) Similar shapes Similar deck construction (PCP and CIP top) 5

6 Differences to Prestressed Beam Post Tensioning Tendons in the web Continuous over multiple spans Both flanges (top and bottom) experience tension and compression 6

7 Similarities to Segmental Precast Sections Continuity Tendons Continuous over multiple spans 7

8 Differences to Segmental Longer Precast Sections Fewer Precast Sections Includes multiple girder lines (structural redundancy) Replaceable deck 8

9 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? 2 or more precast concrete beam sections Cast in place splices Post tensioned with full length continuity tendons Final Condition Fully Continuous Concrete Girder 9

10 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? 10

11 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? Precast Sections 11

12 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? Precast Sections Cast in Place Splices 12

13 What is a Concrete Spliced Girder? Precast Sections Cast in Place Splices Continuity Tendons 13

14 APPLICABILITY AND ADVANTAGES: Provide an option for spans in the 150 to 300 range Provide an alternative to steel Straight or horizontally curved alignments Fast Uses (combines) current construction techniques 14
