Prefabricated Superstructure Systems
- Inverset
A precast concrete steel composite superstructure unit that is fabricated in the inverted (up side down) position. When flipped right side up, the deck is precompressed by the weight of the unit. The units are placed on the substructure and narrow reinforced longitudinal closure pours complete the superstructure. The additional compression due to the inverted casting increases the quality and durability of the deck. The system was at one time patented. It is the understanding of the authors that patent has run out; therefore it can be manufactured by any precast fabricators.

Grouted Reinforcing Splice Couplers
- NMB Splice Sleeve
The NMB Splice Sleeve is a mechanical coupler for splicing reinforcing bars which uses a cylindrical shaped casting filled with a Portland cement based nonshrink high early strength grout. Reinforcing bars being spliced are inserted into the sleeve to meet approximately at the center of the sleeve. This allows for the structural connection of precast sections that will develop connections beyond the tensile strength of the bar.
