Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal: ABC Toolkit (SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2)

Greetings!
Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques have the potential to minimize traffic disruptions during bridge renewals, promote traffic and worker safety, and also improve the overall quality and durability of bridges. To make ABC techniques more applicable to typical bridges, SHRP 2 Project R04 (Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal) developed standardized and scalable approaches to designing and constructing complete bridge systems for rapid renewals. The Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal: ABC Toolkit (SHRP 2 Report S2-R04-RR-2) includes design standards and design examples for complete prefabricated bridge systems, and it proposes specification language for accelerated bridge construction systems suitable for future inclusion in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications.
