- Abstract
The article focuses on various laboratory tests for development of a workable prefabricated bridge system by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. The tests were conducted on 2/3-scale models of a closure strip system. It informs that U-shaped, L-shaped reinforcing bars were used for connection in the closure strips. It concludes that closure strips result in increased deflections. Several charts and graphs are included related to load-strain, displacement, and deflections.
