  • Patent number: 5978998
    Abstract: An end support for a prefabricated highway section of a prefabricated highway system. The end support includes a first elongated support member for transverse engagement of a longitudinal end of the prefabricated highway section, the first elongated support member having an elongated length dimension at least three times either of two transverse height and width dimensions and a second elongated support member parallel to the first support member and laterally aligned with the first member along an orthogonal axis for abutting an earth support of the prefabricated highway system along a longitudinal length of the second support member, the second elongated support member having an elongated length dimension at least three times either of two transverse height and width dimensions. The support member also includes a connecting member joining a center portion of the first and second elongated members in a rigid spaced-apart relationship.

  • Patent number: 5863148
    Abstract: A prefabricated highway with end supports. The end supports include a first elongated support member for transverse engagement of a longitudinal end of the prefabricated highway section and a second elongated support member parallel to the first support member and aligned with the first member along an orthogonal axis for abutting an earth support of the prefabricated highway. The end supports further include a connecting member joining the first and second elongated members in a rigid spaced-apart relationship.The support structure is used as part of a prefabricated highway system. The prefabricated highway system uses the support structures for support of individual lane sections. The prefabricated lane sections are fabricated out of prestressed concrete and are designed to be supported longitudinally in a direction of traffic flow at each end by an upper surface of the first elongated support member of each support section.
