Abstract:

Investigate typical accelerated bridge construction methods and their applicability in South Dakota. A study was conducted to investigate the implementation of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) in South Dakota. The main objective of this study was to implement a systematic method for evaluating ABC techniques to determine their applicability to bridge construction and rehabilitation projects in South Dakota from a cost effectiveness standpoint. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to develop a catalog of ABC techniques, as well as detailed profiles describing the use of these techniques. This research was geared toward developing both the knowledge base and the tool to evaluate if implementation of ABC techniques is beneficial to a particular project scenario based on South Dakota local cost and experience data. Many other state DOT offices currently have evaluation tools for ABC and some were used as references when designing the tool for SDDOT. Examples for using the developed tool were also included in this study to illustrate the use of the evaluation tool for ABC decision making in South Dakota.
