description abstractAn innovative bridge construction utilizing on-site posttensioned precast concrete beams that are compressed together with full depth grouted shear keys and transverse posttensioning is the subject of this paper. In particular, the performance of the shear keys with regard to load transfer and water tightness constitutes the main issues of investigation. This paper presents the results of a live load testing program and associated finite-element analysis results of the as-built bridge. Live truck load test results help provide insights on the lateral (transverse direction) load distribution characteristics among the interconnected beams. The measured lateral distribution of the applied truck load among adjacent beams showed that the load was transferred primarily to the beams close to the truck load position, validating the effectiveness of the shear key details in transporting loads.
