Summary
Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has become an increasingly appealing alternative to conventional cast-in-place construction (CIP) because of the benefits it offers in reducing onsite construction time and traffic impact. Maintaining joint integrity between precast components during seismic events has been a design challenge faced by engineers. Several ABC connections have been developed and shown promise in providing joint behavior emblematic of CIP bridges. However, these projects have been limited to component tests subjected to uniaxial ground motions, leaving questions regarding the seismic performance of ABC connections when subjected to biaxial forces and system interaction as part of a bridge system.
