Traditionally, the major part of highway bridges in Slovakia is realized using the precast concrete technology. The common Slovak precast girders are produced to the34 m length as one element. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for more economical and resisting bridge structures with longer spans. The company Vahostav-Sk-PREFA, Ltd as the main supplier of precast elements for highwaybridge 207, in cooperation with theUniversity of Zilina and the designer company Dopravoprojekt Inc. Liptovsky Mikulas, developed a new precast girder MDP for the span 38 m with combined prestressing. Some experiences and results of verifying flexural test with numerical analysis of that girder are presented in this paper.
