... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-1 A P P E N D I X A Results of State Agency Questionnaire This appendix contains the information gathered from each responding agency. The following are general conclusions that can be drawn from the responses to the questions: 1.
From page 183...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-2 Compiled Questionnaire NCHRP Project 12-102 Recommended AASHTO Guide Specification for ABC Design and Construction a. Have you employed any ABC techniques in your non-seismic bridge structures in the past 5 years?
From page 184...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-3 Delaware We used a precast stub abutment with NeXT beams as well as 2 GRS-IBS abutment bridges. Hawaii No.

... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-4 Systems. It can be found on the MassDOT website by following this link: http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/highway/DoingBusinessWithUs/ManualsPublicationsForms/LRFDBridg eManual2013Edition/PartIIandPartIIIStandardDetails/PartIIIPrefabricatedBridgeElements.aspx Michigan Yes.
From page 186...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-5 Approximately five years ago, we had a rehabilitation project that utilized a lateral slide. I do not have any details.
From page 187...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-6 Have you employed any ABC techniques in your bridge structures in the past 5 years?
From page 188...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-7 We have used ABC techniques as noted in question 1 and a. No, none have been in moderate to high seismic zones b.
From page 189...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-8 Ohio No to all Oklahoma Other than Cottonwood Creek noted above, we have not done any ABC projects. We are not in a high seismic zone.
From page 190...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-9 Can you share any lessons learned (reports, post-construction meeting minutes, correspondence, etc.) from the use of ABC techniques in terms of constructability and durability?
From page 191...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-10 Massena Lateral Slide: • Designer/Owner • Let ABC projects similar to steel bridges (fall letting) • Incentive/Disincentive specification definitions • Precast/CIP option for substructure units • Be prepared to fully evaluate impact of contractor method changes • Elimination of stainless steel sole plate • Rolling in jacking pockets • Do not allow re-use of laminated neoprene bearings • Add a specification requiring falsework design engineer to inspect and accept falsework construction • ABC project design team time • Designer/Owner • Driven pile acceptance criteria need to be modified from the standard specification • More smaller piling is preferred to the fewer larger piling due to pile splice time • More storage space • Separate the falsework bid item from the prefabricated bridge move bid item Kansas Not yet.
From page 192...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-11 New York Recommend the following PCI Journal article: Implementing UHPC for ABC in New York Date: Fall 2014, Volume: 59, Issue: 4, Page number: 38-47, Author(s) : Mathew Royce North Carolina Post-construction meeting minutes are not available; however, contractors have provided information on constructability of ABC for small bridge replacements.
From page 193...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-12 b. Shorter cross sections make them lighter, but require more moment steel.
From page 194...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-13 Can you share any lessons learned (reports, post-construction meeting minutes, correspondence, etc.) specifically from the use of ABC techniques on projects in higher seismic regions?
From page 195...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-14 Do you have any design specifications, design guidelines, reports, standard plans or details, construction special provisions, or design examples that relate to the use of ABC (seismic or non- seismic) and can they be shared with this NCHRP project?
From page 196...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-15 No, SPMT move did not have any special details. Massachusetts Part III of our 2013 LRFD Bridge Manual is dedicated to Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems.
From page 197...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-16 We had a recent research project on a precast superstructure (Modified NEXT Beam) that resulted in some guidelines for the superstructure design.
From page 198...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-17 Are there any specific concerns that, unless adequately addressed, prevent you from employing ABC techniques (seismic or non-seismic)
From page 199...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-18 Iowa No. Kansas Nothing that rises to the level of "concern".
From page 200...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-19 b.
From page 201...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-20 For seismic bridge structures, do you think the use of ABC connections should be limited to certain locations? For example, the following?
From page 202...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-21 I would tend to answer "b", but we have no stated policy in Kansas. Maine NA Maryland Maryland does not have seismic concerns so can't weigh in on this.
From page 203...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-22 South Dakota N/A Texas No comment. Utah No limits Vermont B Washington No limits.
From page 204...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-23 engineer to better understand the demands placed upon the structure, the full structure response (e.g., the force-displacement relationship for the bridge) and will likely become the primary seismic design methodology in future AASHTO codes.
From page 205...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-24 Minnesota NA Missouri Displacement based (B) New Mexico Load-based.
From page 206...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-25 have more to do with developing reinforcing bars than specifics of one code over another. For example, if a design required a #18 column bar, I would be interested in using the ABC connection methods to develop the capacity of that bar.
From page 207...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-26 9. Have you sponsored or performed tests on ABC systems or connection details that might be used in higher seismic categories?
From page 208...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-27 unavailable, in low to moderate seismic regions and for temporary detour and work bridges. Reports for this research are available from the web site above.
From page 209...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-28 10. Are you aware of ABC work that has been executed and published outside of the U.S.?
From page 210...
... NCHRP Project 12-102 A-29 11. Are you aware of any on-going research or implementation of ABC that has not yet been published?
