1 LRFD Bridge Manual - Part III i - 1 INTRODUCTION TO PART III PRECAST/PREFABRICATED BRIDGE ELEMENTS STANDARD DETAILS i. PURPOSE AND USE The purpose of Part III of this Bridge Manual is to provide Designers with standard MassDOT details for precast/prefabricated bridge elements and their connections as well as guidelines for their use in bridge projects. These standard details were developed based on precast/prefabricated bridge element details and connections that have been used not only on bridge projects in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts but elsewhere across the country. For definition purposes for Part III, precast elements are those that could have been constructed in the field using cast-in-place concrete construction but were instead cast at a precaster s shop and delivered to the site to be assembled into the final bridge member. Prefabricated elements are typically superstructure elements that are fabricated off site and that consist of integral deck and beam segments which, when delivered to the field, are assembled with closure pours to form the bridge superstructure with minimal additional field construction. These are typically NEXT D beams, NEBT D beams, and PBU s (Prefabricated Bridge Units). The standard details provided in Part III show precast/prefabricated elements being used for as many elements of a bridge as possible. For an actual project, precast/prefabricated elements should be used for as many or as few bridge members as needed based on a practical consideration of the site constraints, construction schedule, economics, etc. MassDOT does not require that the Designer use these elements everywhere that Part III standard details show them being used. The purpose of using precast/prefabricated elements is to reduce impacts to the traveling public by shortening the construction duration of a bridge project. Thus, if based on the Designer s evaluation, some elements of the proposed structure are not on the critical path of the construction schedule or if using conventional construction better suits the constraints of the site, then the Designer may elect to build those elements using conventional methods. Chapter 2 of Part I of the Bridge Manual provides additional guidance on the use of precast/prefabricated bridge elements. ii. PRECAST TRANSITIONS MassDOT has made the standard highway guardrail transition with base a fully precast element. Since it is now a standard for all projects, the precast transition details do not appear in Part III but are found in Part II. However, Designers should be mindful that a precast highway guardrail transition might not fit all sites and bridge configurations. In these situations, the Designer should specify that the transition top and its base are to be cast-in-place and should detail them appropriately. iii. DESIGN AND DETAILING The precast details provided in Part III have been developed using emulative design principles from the details provided in Part II of this Bridge Manual. Emulative design is a process in which a precast element is designed and detailed to emulate a cast-in-place element except that, where construction joints are used in cast-in-place construction, these now become joints between precast/prefabricated members where member continuity is made through mechanical connections (e.g. grouted splice couplers, grouted pockets, etc.). In most cases, reinforcement and other details
2 LRFD Bridge Manual - Part III i - 2 that are not required to fabricate the element are not shown in the Part III details. The Designer must refer back to the Part II details to ensure that the prefabricated elements that make up the bridge member have been properly and thoroughly designed and detailed. i v. JOIN TS A N D CLOS U RE POU RS When assembling precast/prefabricated elements, these elements must not be placed in direct contact with one another. It is important to provide joints that are filled with non-shrink grouts, or closure pours that are filled with concrete, in order to connect precast/prefabricated elements together or to connect them to cast-in-place concrete. These joints and closure pours serve two purposes. The first purpose is to make a secure structural connection between two elements that transmits forces and/or moments. The second, which is equally important in the assembly of precast/prefabricated elements, is to give the Contractor a way to accommodate both fabrication and erection tolerances while building the bridge structure in order to maintain the required geometry and critical elevations. Part III provides permissible fabrication and erection tolerances. Designers need to pay attention to these tolerances and include them on the Construction Drawings so that the elements can be properly fabricated and erected. Furthermore, the majority of joints between precast/prefabricated elements shown in Part III have variable dimensions. The variability of these joint dimensions is intended to allow the Contractor a means of adjusting the structure as it is erected in order to prevent the accumulation of error. The joint widths are a function of the minimum permissible joint width that will allow grout placement, acceptable fabrication tolerance of adjacent elements, and the erection tolerances of the elements. v. GROU TS A N D CLOS U RE POU R CON CRETE The long term success and performance of bridges assembled from precast/prefabricated elements depends primarily on good detailing and the durability of the connections between those elements. This means that the concrete used in the closure pours and the non-shrink grout used in the joints must be suitable for the intended use so that it can be counted on performing as intended for the life of the structure. To date, Designers have used the term non-shrink grout without much consideration or detailed specification of the actual material being used in the field. Since these connections are a critical part of the structure, the Designer must not only consider the mechanical properties of these materials, such as the compressive strength, but also the constructability (e.g., free flowing or stiff, strength gain, etc.), durability (e.g., freeze-thaw resistance), and bond properties for each connection. Currently, the MassDOT Qualified Products List contains many non-shrink grouts that are used in a variety of applications, but some may not provide the performance or durability that is required for the connection that they are being used in. It is the Designer s responsibility to specify the intended grout s required performance as part of the Special Provisions. v i. A S S EMB LY PLA N S In accelerated construction projects, the role of the Contractor changes from being a builder to being an assembler. For these projects, it is critical that the Contractor develops and submits an Assembly Plan prior to the start of the work. An Assembly Plan is a document prepared by the Contractor working with their qualified Engineer that outlines the steps that the Contractor will follow in assembling the structure. In addition to the sequence of operations, the Assembly Plan must also include the equipment, materials, and schedule that the Contractor shall use. It should also include data sheets for all pre-bagged non-shrink grouts that will be used in the assembly and should
3 LRFD Bridge Manual - Part III i - 3 demonstrate that the performance of these materials, such as required strength gain within the time allotted, is compatible with the intended assembly schedule. Once submitted, Designers shall review the Assembly Plan as they would any other construction procedure for a MassDOT project. v i i. A LTERN A TE CON N ECTION D ETA ILS In many situations, there may be several methods for connecting two precast elements. In developing the Part III details, MassDOT has standardized on those methods that have proven effective on previous MassDOT construction projects using precast/prefabricated elements. However, Designers, Contractors and Fabricators may want to use other methods for a variety of reasons, including cost, assembly schedule, etc. For this reason, MassDOT has reviewed the FHWA Publication No. FHWA-IF titled, Connection Details for Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems, and summarized all those alternate connection details that MassDOT finds acceptable in the Tables below. This FHWA Publication that is available through the FHWA website. Table i-1 includes connection details for superstructures and Table i-2 includes connection details for substructures. The detail numbers in the referenced tables correspond to the detail numbers in the FHWA Publication. All details provided in the Tables below may be used, where applicable, however the Designer, Contractor or Fabricator shall assume full responsibility for the design, detailing, and constructability of these alternate connections if used on the project.
