Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems (PBES) are widely used in accelerated bridge construction (ABC). One such example is the Parkview Bridge located in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The bridge has four spans with AASHTO Type III girders and full-depth deck panels that are post-tensioned in the longitudinal direction after grouting the joints between panels and forming the longitudinal joint with cast-in-place concrete. Structural system behavior is further complicated due to skew and the continuous nature of the post-tensioned deck panels that are connected to the girders using a discrete stud system and grouted haunches. The structural system behavior of bridges constructed using prefabricated bridge elements or systems is very complicated due to component interaction during construction and under service conditions. Advanced finite element (FE) tools and concepts can be utilized to understand component interaction and structural system behavior and to investigate state of stress in components and at assumptions. This paper presents use of contact simulation and *MODEL CHANGE features in Abaqus to simulate the construction process of the 23-degree skew Parkview Bridge for design verification and assessing durability of the structural system.
