The ABCs of Accelerated Bridge Construction
Posted June 1, 2021, Length: 18:29
Building or replacing highway bridges quickly can save traffic delays by cutting on-site construction time. What are the design and construction strategies that make this possible?
To answer this question we talk about Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) with Professor Atorod Azizinamini, who leads Florida International University’s USDOT-funded Accelerated Bridge Construction University Transportation Center.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
