Experimental Testing and Analytical Modelling of Post-Tensioned Earthquake Damage Resistant Technologies for Accelerated Bridge Construction: Comparison With Emulative Monolithic Solution
Abstract eng: Over the last few decades Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) has been developed to answer the growing number of societal needs, as well as advancing the bridge practice. There have been many applications of ABC in the United States, primarily in Texas, Utah, New Jersey, Florida, and Washington. However, application of ABC in regions with moderate-tohigh seismicity requires in depth development, detailing consideration, experimental investigation, and analytical guidelines for the suitable connections between the precast members. This paper investigates the seismic performance of two types of connections through experimental testing for ABC in seismic regions. The research concludes that both connections have the potential to be used within the concept of ABC between the precast elements in a bridge substructure.
