Cover Story: This review presents the evolution and performance of continuity connections in multi-span precast prestressed girder bridges. It explores partial and full integration techniques, including those for UHPC joints, bent bar and strand systems, and mechanical splices. These methods enhance structural integrity, reduce maintenance, and improve seismic resilience. This paper emphasizes current challenges, innovations in design, and the potential of advanced materials and detailing in meeting the demands of modern infrastructure. View this paper

Inspection of PC Pre-Tensioned Girders Deteriorated by Actual Salt Damage via the Triaxial Magnetic Method

  • Hisashi Kakinohana,
  • Yuko Tanabe,
  • Yoshiaki Tamaki and
  • Tetsuhiro Shimozato

PC steel material inside pre-stressed concrete bridges is prone to corrosion due to the effect of salt, which leads to cross-sectional losses and fractures if proper maintenance is not carried out, affecting the girders’ structural performance....
