Case Histories

As demonstrated in the following CRSI Case History Reports, cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab bridges offer several distinct advantages:

• Slab bridges have a lower profile (vertical thickness) than deck-and-beam bridges, allowing more hydraulic clearance for flood conditions and more vehicle clearance underneath.
• Concrete slabs can be formed into almost any shape to accommodate varied road geometries.
• They are easily supported on simple foundations.
• Concrete slabs are relatively easy to maintain.

	Ohio Builds Better Bridges The Ohio Department of Transportation replaced a steel bridge with new cast-in-place reinforced concrete slabs built at the site.
	Cast-in-Place Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges: Making a Great Solution Greater Three examples show how slab bridges can be built faster, longer, and thinner.
	The Rock Creek Bridge California Department of Transportation engineers replaced an outmoded steel structure in a remote region of Mendocino County with a three-span, reinforced concrete box-girder bridge.
