Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques are popular among the department of transportations (DOTs). Innovative design and construction methods and high performance materials are used to reduce the typical bridge construction timeline without sacrificing bridge quality. The goal of accelerated bridge construction is to open a cost-effective, long-lasting bridge to traffic with increased safety and reduced traffic disruption in a shortened construction period. Accelerated bridge construction majorly uses steel-concrete composite bridges with full depth precast decks which has two types of connections, shear connection between steel girder and precast deck and transverse joint between precast panels. Longitudinal prestress is applied to …
