  • Abstract:
    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 DOT’s 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.
