Accelerated Bridge Construction has been in use in the United States for over 30 years. Engineers often express concerns with the durability of ABC technologies, especially with connections between precast elements. Bridge decks are exposed to some of the most challenging environments, especially in norther regions that use significant de-icing chemicals. The webinar will focus on the long-term performance of deck level connections used in ABC including post-tensioned deck panels, longitudinal closure joints, and link slabs. Three projects and 9 bridges will be highlighted with ages ranging from 13 to 35 years. The current conditions of these bridges will be presented along with lessons learned for future projects.
Mike Culmo is a Bridge Engineer with 41 years of experience in bridge and highway design. He has extensive experience in the design of steel, concrete, and prestressed/precast concrete bridges, and has been responsible for managing design teams on new expressway bridges, highway interchanges, and bridge rehabilitation projects. He is the author of numerous national publications and manuals on bridges and was the principal author of the 2018 AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for ABC. Mr. Culmo holds a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a master’s degree in Structural Engineering, both from the University of Connecticut.
