Book excerpt: "TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2: Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal: ABC Toolkit describes standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals. The report includes design standards and design examples for complete prefabricated bridge systems, and proposes specification language for accelerated bridge construction systems, which adheres to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications. The R04 MathCAD files for the SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2 are available to help illustrate the sample accelerated bridge construction (ABC) design calculations. The sample design calculations serve as training tools for engineers to increase familiarity with ABC design issues and criteria. A demonstration project on US 6 over the Keg Creek near Council Bluffs, Iowa was completed in 2011 using the accelerated bridge construction standards developed as part of Renewal Project R04. The following three videos were produced related to the Keg Creek project: ABC for Everyday Bridges (18:39) highlights the specific techniques used to deliver a new bridge with only a 10-day closure. One Design--10,000 Bridges (9:46) describes a tool kit for designing and constructing bridges that brings home the benefits of accelerated bridge construction techniques so local contractors can use typical equipment to build bridges quickly and efficiently. Time-Lapse Video (1:30) shows ABC techniques being used by a local contractor with standard equipment to replace the Keg Creek three-span bridge. SHRP 2 Renewal Project R04 also produced the Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal report that documents the development of standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals"--Publication info.

Download or read book Innovative Bridge Design/construction Techniques to Expedite Construction written by Richard A. Miller (Professional engineer) and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examined various methods of innovative bridge design and construction techniques to expedite construction. The following methods have been identified as possible method of reducing the time needed for bridge construction: precast substructures; prefabricated composite bridge units; prefabricated superstructure units, such as adjacent boxes, which do not need a separate wearing surface; full depth precast concrete decks; stay-in-place concrete or steel forms; completely prefabricated bridges; and, rapid curing concrete materials. The first 6 items have been tried in various states and the results of these trials can be found in an AASHTO Technology Implementation Group (TIG) report at www.ashtotig.org. In order to find additional information on barriers to rapid construction, a survey of contractors was conducted. This survey showed that the main obstacle to fast bridge construction is the forming of the deck. The contractors also indicated that the best way to build bridges faster was to allow the entire bridge to be closed and the reconstruction to occur all at one time. One possible solution to the deck forming problem is the use of stay-in-place steel deck forms. A survey of states showed that approximately 34 states use stay-in-place steel forms for decks. The main concerns about using these forms are the inability to inspect the underside of the deck, trapping moisture between the concrete and the form, deterioration of the form, and additional weight due to the flutes in the forms. However, those states which use SIP steel forms contend that all of these concerns can be overcome. An attempt was made to assess the cost of implementation, but as most of the techniques are still in a pilot phase, cost information was not available.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Buena Vista IBRD Bridge written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to construct bridges that last longer, are less expensive, and take less time to build has increased. The importance of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) technologies has been realized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Bridges and Structures. This project is another in a series of ABC bridge projects undertaken by the Iowa DOT. Buena Vista County, Iowa, with the assistance of the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Bridge Engineering Center (BEC) at Iowa State University, constructed a two-lane single-span precast box girder bridge, using rapid construction techniques. The design involved the use of precast, pretensioned components for the bridge superstructure, substructure, and backwalls. This application and demonstration represents an important step in the development and advancement of these techniques in Iowa as well as nationwide. Prior funding for the design and construction of this bridge (including materials) was obtained through the FHWA Innovative Bridge Research and Deployment (IBRD) Program. The Iowa Highway Research Board (IHRB) provided additional funding to test and evaluate the bridge. This project directly addresses the IBRD goal of demonstrating (and documenting) the effectiveness of innovative materials and construction techniques for the construction of new bridge structures. Evaluation of performance was formulated through comparisons with design assumptions and recognized codes and standards including American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prefabricated components of a bridge produced off-site can be assembled quickly, and can reduce design time and cost, minimizing forming, minimize lane closure time and/or possibly eliminate the need for a temporary bridge. This document has been developed to promote the use of prefabricated elements and systems in bridges and focuses on 'Connection Details' as part of accelerated construction projects. Accelerated Bridge Construction is one of the prime focus areas of the Office of Infrastructure of Federal Highway Administration. It focuses on a need to create awareness, inform, educate, train, assist and entice State DOTs and their staff in the use of rapid construction techniques. This document represents the State of the Practice at this time with respect to connections between prefabricated elements in accelerated bridge construction projects. Most of the details were obtained from State Departments of Transportation, industry organizations, and private consultants. This information contained herein should be used to develop designs and determine which details would be appropriate for accelerating bridge construction projects.

Download or read book Available Accelerated Bridge Construction Options for Short Span Bridges written by Armin Mehrabi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By employing prefabricated bridge elements and systems, Accelerated Bridge Construction reduces on-site construction time and traffic disruptions, and enhances long-term performance. ABC is particularly advantageous for short-span bridges that are well-suited to standardized prefabrication. In such cases, the entire superstructure and substructure can often be constructed using prefabricated deck elements, modular decks, or systems that span the full bridge width. The construction methods can range from traditional crane installations to Self-Propelled Modular Transport units or slide-in techniques for moving the entire superstructures. This book introduces the concept of ABC and examines its application in the context of short-span bridge construction. It categorizes and details short-span bridges based on various criteria and evaluates the performance of the existing bridges. Decision-making processes regarding the adoption of ABC, choice of elements, systems, and construction methods are also discussed. Additionally, the book covers the inspection of short-span bridges and includes a design example.
