- Description
- The overall objective is to determine the effectiveness of State Highway Agencies (SHA) QA practices utilized on ABC projects. A thorough literature review of states QA practices for bridge construction projects shall be included. A minimum of 5 case studies with each case study consist of an individual project with varying levels of complexities and in regional geographical areas of the United States will be documented to illustrate the effectiveness, best practices and/or issues of the existing Quality Assurance practices utilized on ABC projects. The effective practices are those in place to reduce the risk of non-specification material in and high quality proper installation and “fit up” processes for structural precast concrete elements. From the cases a QA guidance document will be produced for states to develop a more robust inspection and acceptance programs for ABC projects. In addition, to this QA guidance document a manual will be developed as a Visual ABC Inspection Manual similar to the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Pavement Distress Identification Manual.
