Abstract
Systems and methods for connection between precast concrete elements are provided. Near-surface mounting bars (NSMBs) can be used to connect panel elements (e.g., decks and/or slabs), concrete walls, retaining walls, and/or abutments. A straight or butt connection can be used for panel and wall elements, and a staggered or lap connection can be used for panel elements. The connection systems offer new ways for connecting precast concrete walls and deck panels.
