The key items to consider are: • Impact of design and analysis practices on erection; • Methods used to predict erection deflections as a function of bridge type and complexity; • Shop-assembly practices and alternative methods of ensuring properly assembled geometry; • Sequencing of erection to ensure proper fit-up and to achieve desired girder profile and geometry; • Stability issues during all phases of bridge construction, such as deck overhang, concrete placement, lifting and handling, and temporary or permanent bracing or supports; • Field connection practices and impact on final geometry; • Examples of structures where erection practices have caused problems; • Owner requirements for erection procedures, implementation of requirements, and impact of procedures on the quality of the erection; and • Current and proposed future research. SYNTHESIS APPROACH This synthesis reports the responses of three different questionnaires that were sent to U.S.
