Abstract

The paper reports on the design and construction of a post-tensioned highway bridge that spans 750 feet over busy Houston, Texas Ship Channel. The center span is flanked by two 375-foot spans to create a 1500-foot main structure, which forms part of a 4. 2-mile link between two major highways east of Houston. Strand tendons were used for vertical and transverse prestress instead of post-tensioning bars
