  • Rapid Construction Details for Bridges in Seismic Zones
    RAPID CONSTRUCTION DETAILS FOR BRIDGES IN SEISMIC ZONES. John Stanton 1, Marc Eberhard 1 and Kyle Steuck 2 ABSTRACT Rapid construction of bridges is desirable to counteract the costs caused by traffic congestion, exposure of workers to risk of accidents, and environmental damage. Use of precast concrete components offers an opportunity to reduce the duration of site operations, but poses potential problems when used in seismic regions because of the difficulty in designing connections that can accommodate the forces and inelastic deformations induced by earthquake ground motions. This paper presents options for selecting precast concrete bridge bent systems and associated connections that are suitable for use in seismic regions. Some use technology that is already proven and may be implemented now, while others are based on rational principles but may require proof testing prior to construction. The paper outlines the testing program that is being undertaken for one of those systems. Introduction Construction activities have always had negative impacts on the operation of transportation systems. Examples are traffic congestion, worker safety and environmental damage. In recent years, those effects have become increasingly critical, so various agencies have worked to develop systems that reduce those impacts, and in particular they have sought ways to achieve rapid construction. For example, FHWA (2004) provides general information on the development and implementation of accelerated construction methods. Precast concrete bridge components offer an alternative to conventional reinforced, cast- in-place concrete components that has the potential to address some of the problems. Precasting can facilitate rapid construction, minimize traffic disruption, improve work zone safety, reduce environmental impacts, improve constructability, and lower life-cycle costs.
