Course Description

264-Precast Segmental Bridge Construction - Part 5 - Precast Segment Manufacturing

A follow-on course to Precast Segmental Bridge Construction — An Introduction providing more detailed information on manufacturing bridge precast segments. Topics covered in the course include: Casting Equipment, Site Selection, Segment Formwork, Lifting and Transporting Segments, Concrete Placing and Finishing, Casting Geometry, and Stressing and Grouting.

After completion the reader should have a better understanding of the manufacturing and the associated equipment needed to precast bridge segments for erection, and an understanding of the staging and some details for acceptance of precast materials. Lastly, the understanding of the pre-casting method will assist the engineer in cost, schedule, quality, and safety decisions of a project.

From better understanding of the construction methods, engineers can account for better access and staging areas, and more efficient bridge designs to suit a construction method that is advantageous to the project.

Future courses that further detail other segmental bridge processes will be available to provide a more comprehensive understanding of each type of bridge construction.

I was already familiar with some of the information provided but I found the course to be clear and precise. As a designer I needed to see things from the construction angle. I liked the course very much.

The precast segmental manufacturing course was an excellent refresher course for an experienced precast engineer. It is a also a good primer for an engineer without previous experience.
