Precast Concrete Bridge Girders – Reliable, Durable, and Cost-Effective Infrastructure Solutions by Gürtes Construction
At Gürtes Construction, Engineering, and Industrial Systems, we specialize in precast concrete bridge girders designed for maximum performance, safety, and economy. With a commitment to engineering excellence and international standards, we deliver high-quality structural components for bridges, viaducts, and overpasses that ensure long-term durability and operational efficiency.
Why Choose Precast Concrete Bridge Girders?
- Speed and Efficiency
Precast bridge girders are manufactured in a controlled factory environment and installed quickly on-site. This process minimizes weather-related delays, shortens construction timelines, and reduces traffic disruption — a critical advantage for highway and urban projects.
- Superior Quality and Consistency
Every stage of production — from concrete mix design to steel reinforcement placement — undergoes strict quality control. This ensures dimensional accuracy, structural integrity, and long-term resistance to fatigue, corrosion, and environmental effects.
- Load Capacity and Span Options
- I-Girders: Suitable for medium spans (20–45 m) with depths typically between 1.2–2.5 m.
- Box Girders: Ideal for long spans (30–70 m and above), offering exceptional rigidity and torsional resistance.
- Segmental / Modular Systems: Applied in large viaducts and bridges with spans extending up to 250 m per section.
These girders are designed to withstand dead loads, live loads, wind, temperature variation, and seismic effects, ensuring long-term performance and stability.
Prestressing and Post-Tensioning Techniques
Pretensioned (Pre-Stressed) Girders
- Steel tendons are tensioned before concrete casting in the factory.
- Once the concrete achieves the required strength, the tendons are released, transferring compressive stress into the beam.
- This significantly reduces cracking, deflection, and tensile stress under service loads.
Post-Tensioned Girders
- Tensioning is performed after the concrete has been placed and hardened, using ducts for the tendons.
- Ideal for long-span bridges and segmental construction, allowing greater design flexibility and structural continuity.
- Losses due to elastic shortening, creep, and relaxation are carefully considered during design and analysis.
Both methods ensure optimized material use, reduced cross-sectional sizes, and extended service life, making them a preferred choice in modern infrastructure engineering.
