BAYOU LAFOURCHE BRIDGE –A COST-EFFECTIVE FULL DEPTH PRECAST DECK SOLUTION

摘要

AccelBridge, an innovative full depth precast deck technology, is implemented for the Bayou Lafourche Bridge, sponsored by FHWA Every Day Count program. AccelBridge utilizes bridge girders to compress the deck without need for deck post-tensioning. Comparing with current full depth precast deck technologies, AccelBridge offers advantages in simplifying construction, reducing cost, and improving durability.
