Inverted-tee cap construction
Inverted-tee cap construction
(OP)
Has anyone out there been involved in the construction of inverted-tee bridge pier caps? Our firm is working on a job with inverted-tee pier caps and the contractor wants to pour the cap in 2 pieces - one piece being the "ledge" and the other being the "stem".
We are really hesitant to have a horizontal construction joint in our pier cap, but are wondering what experiences others have had in this regard.
Thanks.
