In one of development of the applicable area for new nonsteel materials, especially the carbon fiber reinforced plastics, there is an application research to the prestressed concrete girder construction by the good use of characteristic advantages of the new materials, stainless and nonelectromagnetic. When it is applied to the prestressed concrete girder construction by the posttensioning method, there are various problems for design and construction. They are, for example, processing the materials, reliability of wedge type anchorage, assumption of factors for calculation the transmission of prestressing force along the tendon, making clear for the long-term change of prestressing force and concrete stress and so on. This report will express the outline about the design and construction of slab type bridge “Bachigawa-Minami-Bashi”, edge girder of that was applied the tendon made of the carbon fiber reinforced plastics for the post-tensionedprestressed concrete, and the result of the tensioning test for tendons, load test for the constructed girder, load test for the completed bridge, longterm characteristic change of the girder and so on.
