Refinement of the Inverted T-Beam Bridge System for Virginia
The inverted T-beam bridge system is a bridge construction technique that follows accelerated bridge construction processes. The system was discovered in France and first adopted in the U.S. by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. In 2012 the system was modified and adopted by Virginia, with …

Recommendations for Surface Treatment for Virginia Inverted T-Beam Bridge System
… treatment methods for use in the Virginia Inverted T-Beam bridge system. The specific system consists of precast beams with thin bottom flanges placed next to one another, with a cast-in-place slab on top. Previous research has shown that the strength of this system after cyclic loading is …

Investigation of Concrete Mixtures to Reduce Differential Shrinkage Cracking in Inverted T Beam System
The inverted T-beam system provides an accelerated bridge construction alternative. The system consists of adjacent precast inverted T-beams finished with a cast-in-place concrete topping. The system offers enhanced performance against reflective cracking and reduces the likelihood of cracking due …

Development of a Composite Concrete Bridge System for Short-to-Medium-Span Bridges
The inverted T-beam bridge system provides an accelerated bridge construction alternative for short-to-medium-span bridges. The system consists of adjacent precast inverted T-beams finished with a cast-in-place concrete topping. The system offers enhanced performance against reflective cracking, …

Non-Contact Lap Splices in Dissimilar Concretes
… situation is found in the repair of adjacent box beam bridges and in the construction of inverted T-beam systems, among others. It is vital to understand whether the same mechanisms are present across a cold joint with two different types of concrete as are present in traditional non-contact lap …
