Abstract

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques have the potential to minimize traffic disruptions during bridge renewals, promote traffic and worker safety, and improve the overall quality and durability of bridges. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) toolkit was created to guide agencies through ABC implementation. This presentation discusses utilization of the toolkit, presents standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals, and reviews actual ABC implementations.

ABC Techniques for Rapid Bridge Replacement

St. Thomas Newman Hall

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques have the potential to minimize traffic disruptions during bridge renewals, promote traffic and worker safety, and improve the overall quality and durability of bridges. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) toolkit was created to guide agencies through ABC implementation. This presentation discusses utilization of the toolkit, presents standardized approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals, and reviews actual ABC implementations.
