The purpose of this report is to document Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques on IBRD (Innovative Bridge Research and Development) project 102470 for the construction of Bridge N-16-Q on State Highway 69 over Turkey Creek. The project demonstrated faster pier erection by utilizing precast pier caps to eliminate concrete cure time from the critical path in the construction schedule.

This report analyzes the Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) data for Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) awarded in the years 2000 through 2009. Analysis of the overall performance of the projects is accomplished by reviewing the Calculated Pay Factor Composite (CPFC) and Incentive/Disincentive Payments (I/DP). Analysis of each of the test elements: thickness, compressive strength, sand equivalent, and flexural strength is also completed....

The results of this study confirm the performance of the baseline CDOT bridge deck mixes/systems, indicate some new products that show promise for implementation, and suggest that combinations of products might be the best approach to protection for Colorado bridge decks exposed to deicing chemicals.

This research is being conducted to evaluate the performance of various pavement preservation treatments over time and under different environmental conditions to quantify the economics of each treatment type. There are three primary techniques utilized in Colorado for preservation of asphalt pavements and three for concrete pavements.

This study focuses on the evaluation of bridge deck sealers commonly used on highway bridge decks and their relative performance.

This study analyzes the effects of temperature change and thermal gradients on deck joint movement and provide recommendations regarding deck joint elimination. The data indicates that temperature shifts and thermal gradients through the depth of the girders along the joint are impacting the bridge's movements and causing changes in stress. A strong parallel is shown between the temperature changes and the study joint's movement and changes in stresses...
