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.

Department of Transportation-federal Highway Administration and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerated bridge construction methods can help increase safety and minimize the inconveniences to the traveling public. Many new construction methods have been investigated and implemented using prefabricated subassemblies on bridges. These methods have shown great promise because prefabricated components can be produced in a controlled environment, resulting in superior products that both allow for expedited construction schedules and display robust, durable performance. The most critical field construction process for prefabricated subassemblies is the completion of the connections. Short-term construction-related issues along with long-term serviceability problems have been attributed to a variety of causes, including construction techniques, materials, and poor designs. This research effort investigated the performance of a variety of different material categories that may be used in field-cast highway infrastructure connections. The objective of this research is to evaluate grout-type materials for potential use in field-cast connections deployed as part of the prefabricated bridge elements and systems (PBES) bridge construction concept. Topics investigated included mechanical strength, shrinkage, bond strength, durability, and cost.

Download or read book Manual on Use of Self Propelled Modular Transporters to Remove and Replace Bridges written by United States Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) for bridge moves was the top implementation recommendation of the 2004 Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems International Scan sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Transportation Research Board's National Cooperative Highway Research Program. Prefabrication of bridges offsite under more controlled conditions followed by rapid installation onsite can achieve quality installations in significantly less time than the months or years typically required for conventional bridge construction. The use of SPMTs in combination with prefabrication should be considered for all bridge replacement projects in locations with high traffic volumes. The purpose of the scan was to learn how other countries use prefabricated bridge components to minimize traffic disruption, improve work zone safety, reduce environmental impact, improve constructability, enhance quality, and lower life-cycle costs. The scan team learned that European countries frequently use SPMTs to lift and drive bridges to their final location in just minutes. SPMTs are computer-controlled platform vehicles that can move bridge systems weighing up to several thousand tons with precision to within a fraction of an inch. The prefabrication of bridges offsite under controlled conditions followed by rapid installation onsite can achieve quality installations with traffic impacts of minutes to a few hours compared to the months typically required for conventional onsite bridge construction. The significantly reduced onsite construction time when using SPMTs to move prefabricated bridge superstructures, for example, is due to the collapse of the sequential processes of conventional onsite bridge construction to just one step: moving the prefabricated superstructure from the staging area to its final position. This technology should be considered for all bridge replacement projects where reduced onsite construction time is a priority. The manual provides details from project conception to completion for using SPMTs to remove or install a bridge. It describes equipment, lists benefits and costs, and identifies criteria to determine when this technology is appropriate. It also addresses planning-related issues such as traffic considerations and site requirements. Design issues discussed include temporary shoring and prefabrication requirements, allowable temporary stresses and deflections during the move, and possible design efficiencies because of offsite prefabrication. Contracting issues covered include staging area requirements and contracting strategies for reduced onsite construction time. Using this manual in combination with the FHWA decisionmaking framework and analysis of delayrelated user costs should provide the guidance that bridge owners and other bridge professionals need to understand the technology, determine whether using SPMTs will benefit a specific bridge project, and develop contract documents that incorporate the technology.
