Abstract:The objective of this study was to develop and deliver a toolkit to help local governments (LGs) in Georgia select and construct bridges using prefabricated modular systems with 40-, 60-, and 80-foot spans. The components of the proposed accelerated bridge construction (ABC) toolkit address: 1) decision-making; 2) design; 3) construction; 4) risk analysis; and 5) cost estimation. It will be an extensive, convenient source of the latest guidelines for ABC applications. It is not intended for developing final design and construction plans but as a source of information to help decision-makers and owners develop an initial design, estimate the material and construction costs, and determine when and where ABC will be most beneficial. It will provide guidelines to assist local governments and third-party designers using GDOT design standards for ABC. With repeated implementation, ABC options will become even more economical and efficient.
