Development of Manual for Enhanced Service Life of ABC Projects
| 项目名称： | Development of Manual for Enhanced Service Life of ABC Projects |
| 摘要： | The main objective in constructing bridges with the accelerated bridge construction (ABC) philosophy is to place the bridge in service rapidly and therefore minimize traffic interruption. At the same time, the design of bridges for service life is gaining more importance as limited resources demand enhancing the service life of existing and new bridges. The main objective of this project is to develop a manual devoted to enhancing service life ABC projects. The development of the document will consider the ABC projects nationwide. The factors that impact service life will be identified and strategies will be developed to mitigate them. It will include case studies, examples, design, inspection and maintenance information. It will be flexible and accommodating to the addition of new information as it becomes available. Tools will be developed to assist the user to navigate through the information and make the document user friendly. The general framework for the document will be similar to that described in the Guide for Design of Bridges for Service Life (Azizimini et.al.). |
