• Abstract:
  This project (Phase 3 of the Investigation of Two Bridge Alternatives for Low Volume Roads) is a continuation of research which addresses some of the numerous bridge problems on Iowa’s secondary road system. In the previous phases, Iowa DOT projects HR-382 (Phase 1) and TR-410 (Phase 2), alternative designs for replacing bridges on low volume roads (LVRs) were investigated. Phase 1 investigated two replacement concepts, the first being the development of Steel Beam Pre-cast Units and the second the modification of the original Benton County Beamin-Slab Bridge (BISB) design. Phase 2 continued with the development of an alternative shear connector (ASC) for obtaining composite action in the BISB system and an arch formwork between the girders to reduce the self weight of the system.
