Abstract:Advancements and increased use of accelerated bridge construction (ABC)
often result in the use of newly developed, or modified, technologies and/or
construction techniques that are sometimes untested in this new application.
For designers and engineers to confidently make use of these technologies and
construction methodologies, evaluation of their performance relative to design
assumptions, short- and long-term durability, and other performance-based
metrics is required in laboratory tests.
One particular technology that has been transferred and utilized in several ABC
projects are grouted reinforcing steel couplers. One specific project in particular,
the Keg Creek Bridge on US 6 in Iowa, utilized grouted reinforcing steel couplers
to connect drilled shafts to prefabricated pier columns and then the pier columns
to prefabricated pier caps.
