• Abstract:
  Rapid economic and population growth, along with deteriorating bridge infrastructure, is putting a persistent strain on the nation's transportation network. Federal and state transportation departments (DOTs) are looking for new ways to build, repair, or replace bridges quickly and with minimal interruption to the traveling public. The FHWA has begun an attempt to shorten the time it takes to put new bridges into operation and to increase the design life of bridges from 50 to 75 years. In response to these changes and to facilitate accelerated bridge construction (ABC) practices, several State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), including Alabama DOT (ALDOT), have developed a variety of structural connection details for prefabricated bridge elements ranging from full-depth precast deck panels to precast girders to precast integral abutments.
