• Abstract:
  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) “Every Day Counts” initiative aims at improving transportation construction in three major areas: shortening overall project delivery time, enhancing safety, and protecting the environment, both on and around construction projects. Important to Every Day Counts is Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), defined as construction that innovates in planning, design, materials, and methods in a safe and cost-effective manner to reduce onsite construction time of new bridges or when repairing or rehabilitating existing bridges. Among the seven facets of ABC, such as contracting methods and geotechnical solutions, this project focused on prefabricated bridge elements and systems (PBES). To prefabricate is to manufacture sections, especially in a factory-like setting, so that they can be easily transported to and rapidly assembled on the construction site.
