This publication was first printed in the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Bridge Design Manual, MNL-133, as Chapter 20, Precast Prestressed Concrete Piles. It is reprinted in this form as a convenience for designers and others with an interest in precast, prestressed concrete piles.

This comprehensive, electronic design manual includes both preliminary and final design information for standard girders and most precast and precast, prestressed concrete products and systems used for transportation structures. It contains background, strategies for economy, fabrication techniques, evaluation of loads, load tables, design theory and numerous complete design examples. It is designed to explain ... Details

This new manual on repair of damage to or non-conformances in bridge products is now available. It has begun to be used by state highway agencies and precasters alike. Precasters are encouraged to purchase copies to supply to their local agencies and specifiers. The manual contains diagrams of the various types of cracks, chips, voids, missing bars, etc. ...

This is a new comprehensive methodology to analyze the lateral stability of long slender bridge girders. Technology has enabled the manufacture of increasingly longer girders. Slender girders present a lateral stability concern. Each stage of a girder’s transition from the casting bed to its final location in the bridge is considered. These conditions include... Details

The new Bridge Deck Panel Report is a state-of-the-art guide for selecting, designing, detailing, and constructing precast full-depth deck panels for bridge construction. The report consists of four parts:

1. An introduction to the relatively new technology of full-depth precast bridge deck panel systems

2. Information on typical practice including... Details
