Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traveling public has no patience for prolonged, high cost construction projects. This puts highway construction contractors under intense pressure to minimize traffic disruptions and construction cost. Actively promoted by the Federal Highway Administration, there are hundreds of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) construction programs in the United States, Europe and Japan. Accelerated Bridge Construction: Best Practices and Techniques provides a wide range of construction techniques, processes and technologies designed to maximize bridge construction or reconstruction operations while minimizing project delays and community disruption. Describes design methods for accelerated bridge substructure construction; reducing foundation construction time and methods by using pile bents Explains applications to steel bridges, temporary bridges in place of detours using quick erection and demolition Covers design-build systems' boon to ABC; development of software; use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) Includes applications to glulam and sawn lumber bridges, precast concrete bridges, precast joints details; use of lightweight aggregate concrete, aluminum and high-performance steel

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is committed to provide the highest level of safety and mobility during each step of a project's development and delivery. To fulfill the above commitment, MDOT embraces technology and uses innovations. One such example is the implementation of the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) project delivery process. MDOT is planning to implement the Slide-In and Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) project delivery methods. MDOT foresees the future ABC projects to be design-bid-build; thus, they require the contracting industry and those delivering the projects to be knowledgeable of the methods. Also, this process requires the owners, in this case MDOT, to consider the means and methods that are required to complete an ABC project. ABC is a paradigm shift in bridge engineering and requires a change in bridge design engineers' thinking process to that of a contractor. Hence, MDOT hosted the workshop on December 9, 2013 at the Williams Auditorium in Lansing, Michigan. The objective was to leverage knowledge and experience developed in other state highway agencies, and to encourage the involvement of local consultants, contractors, prefabricators, and other highway agencies during implementation of innovative project delivery techniques in Michigan. This report provides summaries of all the presentations and a strategic plan for promoting ABC in Michigan.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) "Every Day Counts'' initiative aims to shorten the overall project delivery time, enhance safety, and protect the environment both on and around construction projects. Using innovative planning, design, and construction methods, Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques reduce on-site construction time for new or replacement bridges. One aspect of ABC is Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems (PBES), where bridge components are fabricated offsite to reduce on-site construction activities. Many state departments of transportation, including Florida DOT, are currently making efforts to implement PBES for their bridge construction projects. The purpose of this research project was to investigate other states standards and to evaluate them for possible implementation in Florida. An exhaustive search was made, and new literature was reviewed, to learn about current DOT standards and practices. The search revealed that the states with the most prefabricated bridge standards or activities are as follows: Utah, Alabama, Texas, Minnesota, and a collaboration of Northeastern states. These standards were reviewed for details such as the presence of post-tensioning, joint types, design load, and inspectability. The three standard bridge types that show the most promise for adoption by FDOT are: Florida DOT District 2s Truncated "Florida I-Beam'' (FIB), Minnesotas Inverted Tee Beam, and PCI's "Northeastern Extreme Tee'' (NEXT) Beam. A summary of the findings, including advantages and disadvantages of the bridge systems, is included in this report. Also included is a comprehensive list of web links to standard drawings from all state DOTs, which could also be helpful to expedite other research that involves standards and bridge construction/design practices.

Book excerpt: Bridge construction projects are a commuting nightmare. There's no easy detour around the interminable lane closures and traffic jams they trigger. But as U.S. state transportation departments embrace accelerated bridge construction (ABC) practices, this type of disruption could become less common.

Download or read book Connection Details for Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems written by Michael P. Culmo and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 568 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Design/Build (D/B) and Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery methods are two new tools that NDOR is authorized to use in meeting the needs of the state's transportation program. These methods may not be appropriate for all projects, but when the right projects are selected, D/B or CM/GC may offer significant benefits for NDOR and the public. The information presented in these Guidelines provides a framework for using the D/B or CM/GC project delivery method. The procedures presented do not have to be followed to the letter, but illustrate approaches that have been proven successful and can be adapted as appropriate for each specific project. Commonly asked questions are presented and answered in the context of NDOR's traditional Design/Bid/Build (D/B/B) project delivery method versus D/B or CM/GC project delivery methods" (page i).
