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
Download or read book Standards for Single Span Prefabricated Bridges written by Phil Rossbach and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In coordination with a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) consisting of County Engineers and Iowa DOT representatives, the Iowa DOT has proposed to develop a set of standards for a single span prefabricated bridge system for use on the local road system. The purpose of the bridge system is to improve bridge construction, accelerate project delivery, improve worker safety, be cost effective, reduce impacts to the traveling public by reducing traffic disruptions and the duration of detours, and allow local forces to construct the bridges. HDR Inc. was selected by the Iowa DOT to perform the initial concept screening of the bridge system. This Final Report summarizes the initial conceptual effort to investigate potential systems, make recommendations for a preferred system and propose initial details to be tested in the laboratory in Phase 2 of the project. The prefabricated bridge components were to be based on the following preliminary criteria set forth by the TAC. The criteria were to be verified and/ or modified as part of the conceptual development. - 24' and 30' roadway widths - Skews of 0 degrees, 15 degrees , and 30 degrees - Span lengths of 30' -- 70' in 10' increments using precast concrete beams - Voided box beams could be considered - Limit precast element weight to 45,000 pounds for movement and placement of beams - Beams could be joined transversely with threaded rods - Abutment concepts may included precast as well as an option for cast-in-place abutments with pile foundations. In addition to the above criteria, there was an interest to use a single-width prefabricated bridge component to simplify fabrication as well as a desire to utilize non-prestressed concrete systems where possible to allow for precasting of the beam modules by local forces or local precast plants. The SL-1 modular steel bridge rail was identified for use with this single span prefabricated bridge system." -- Background

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.

Download or read book Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra High Performance Concrete UHPC written by Xudong Shao and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 976 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Theory, Experiments and Applications introduces more than a dozen innovative bridge structures and engineering applications developed by the author's team based on UHPC. As the new bridge structure developed by UHPC can make outstanding contributions to the realization of the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals" and "sustainable development," and since recent studies have shown that the application of UHPC is expected to greatly reduce the amount of materials and carbon emissions and prolong the life of the structure, this book is an ideal update on the topic. For example, after calculation, when UHPC is applied to the arch bridge with compression as the main stress characteristic, compared with the steel arch bridge, the dead weight of the UHPC arch bridge is basically the same, and the cost and carbon emission are only 34% and 20% of the latter. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as a new generation of civil structural materials has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness and high durability. Through the collaborative innovation of new materials and new structures, the application of UHPC in bridge engineering is expected to achieve the goal of economical, environmentally-friendly, durable and high performance of the main structure. Teachers readers about the new structures and technologies in bridge engineering developed by the author's team based on UHPC Provides relevant experimental studies and the mechanical properties of different UHPC structures Helps users understand the design method and calculation theory of UHPC bridge structures Covers the characteristics and advantages of new UHPC structures and technologies applied to engineering
