摘要

When the Highway Act was passed in 1956, prestressed concrete was an emerging technology and the application of that technology to bridges was still in its infancy. In the decade prior to the passage of the act only 2% of the bridges built in the United States utilized prestressed concrete as their primary superstructure elements. By the beginning of the new millennium, the number had grown to just under 49%. Of the 47,000 Interstate system bridges built since the passage of the act, 29% have utilized prestressed concrete and 25% utilized reinforced concrete. It is clear that concrete has played a major role in the construction of interstate bridges. It is also clear that the construction of the Interstate system has played a major role in the utilization and development of prestressed concrete in bridges since 29% of all bridges built since the passage of the act use prestressed concrete. Because of its importance as a material component of the interstate system, an examination of the evolution of the technology in the United States is presented. This paper presents the general historical development of prestressed concrete bridges from the early 1940s to the present. This paper also presents some of the challenges that have to be faced by today's prestressed concrete bridge designers as well as some of the needs anticipated for the future.
