Prefabricated　bridge　deck　panels　(PBDPs)　are　easily　constructed,　are　associated　with　lower　pollution　levels,　and　cause　minimum　disruptions　in　existing　traffic　and　the　surrounding　environment.　Owing　to　these　advantages,　they　are　gradually　becoming　the　research　focus　of　bridge　engineering.　Configurations　and　materials　of　joints　have　significant　effects　on　the　speed　of　construction,　integrity,　and　durability　of　PBDPs.　Wet　joints,　with　their　small　amounts　of　grout,　high　tolerance　for　construction　errors,　and　superior　mechanical　properties,　have　gradually　become　commonly　used　joint　types　for　PBDPs.　Herein,　previously　published　research　studies　on　wet　joints　for　PBDPs　are　systematically　summarized.　The　configurations　and　performance　of　common　wet　joints　are　introduced　first.　The　designs　and　behaviors　of　wet　joints　with　high-performance　materials　are　then　clarified.　The　prediction　models　for　the　capacity　of　bar　connections　and　post-　tensioned　connections　subjected　to　bending　moments,　shear,　and　tension　are　discussed.　The　practical　engineering　values　of　the　wet　joints　are　demonstrated　based　on　engineering　practices.　Finally,　the　development　trends　and　future　research　directions　of　wet　joints　for　PBDPs　are　pointed　out.　Based　on　high-performance　materials,　the　novel　configurations　of　the　wet　joints　associated　with　superior　performance,　simple　and　convenient　construction　approaches,　and　economic　efficiency,　constitute　the　premise　of　future　studies.　Working　mechanisms,　failure　modes,　and　performance　prediction　models　of　novel　wet　joints　subjected　to　bending　moment,　shear,　and　fatigue　loading　are　the　basis　for　future　works.　In　addition,　a　practical　engineering-　oriented　design　method　of　wet　joints　for　PBDPs　is　the　focus　to　be　investigated.　This　paper　can　provide　a　broad　view　and　technical　support　for　the　application　of　PBDPs.　©　2025　Chang＇an　University.　All　rights　reserved.
