title = "Precast Composite Slab Span System (PCSSS): Field investigation and recommendations",
abstract = "This paper describes a field investigation of a Precast Composite Slab Span System (PCSSS) implemented for short to moderate span bridges (20-50ft. range). Advantages of the system include accelerated construction, improved quality control, and reduced impact on the environment compared to cast-in-place (CIP) slab span systems. In addition, the PCSSS is a viable alternative used by maintenance crews in retrofitting existing bridges. The field study was conducted on one of the early Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) implementations over a period of 24 months to investigate the performance of the system relative to design assumptions and the susceptibility of the system to developing reflective cracking.",
