Application of Accelerated Bridge Construction Connections in Moderate-to-High Seismic Regions. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 698

摘要

This report identifies promising details to be used for connections of bridge members in accelerated bridge construction in medium to high seismic regions and gives recommendations for further research. Existing connection details were gathered from state departments of transportation (DOTs), industry, and academia and were evaluated for their performance in terms of readiness for use, construction risk, durability, and seismic performance. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge engineers.
