Dear friends:Welcome to Miami! We’d like to extend a warm welcome to attendees of the 2014 National Accelerated Bridge Construction Conference presented by the Accelerated Bridge Construction University Transportation Centerat Florida International University (ABC-UTC) and FIU’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Together with our partners, Iowa State University and University of Nevada-Reno, our objective at the newly established ABC-UTC is to advance the frontier of Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC); develop new ABC knowledge; effectively transfer state-of-the-art ABC knowledge to the profession; develop a next-generation ABC workforce; and collaborate with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Departments of Transportation (DOTs), other UTCs, and the transportation profession to make ABC the best solution for the nation’s aging bridge infrastructure in line with U.S. DOT’s strategic focus on State of Good Repair.

We created this conference in an effort to share with you the most current knowledge and technologies related to ABC. We have lined up an extensive schedule of workshops and sessions as well as several opportunities for networking with industry peers.

We hope you find the conference and workshops worthwhile, and we encourage you to share with us your feedback and experiences.

Best wishes,

WELCOME MESSAGE

Dr. Atorod Azizinamini, P.E.Conference ChairProfessor, Chair and Director of ABC-UTCCivil and Environmental Engineering DepartmentFlorida International University

Miami

The Miami area offers something for everyone: The trendy nightlife of South Beach, bejeweled by the eye candy of the Art

Deco district. The bustle of Calle Ocho and the highly caffeinated energy of Little Havana. The plush hotels of Miami Beach

and the historic hideaways of Coral Gables. Seemingly endless shopping opportunities in modern, sprawling malls and the

quiet, personal attention offered by the family-owned shops of Coconut Grove and many other corners of the region. The

lures of deep-sea fishing and golf and tennis. Major league football, basketball, hockey and baseball. Boat shows and auto

racing. Art festivals and outdoor food and wine extravaganzas. An international airport and the world’s busiest cruise port.

The Miami area offers all of this – and so much more.

Hotel Information

Regency Miami overlook Biscayne Bay and connect to the Convention

Center, providing effortless access to everything from Brickell and Coral

Gables to Coconut Grove and world-famous white sand beaches. The

W-01: Lightweight Concrete – A Tool for Accelerated Bridge Construction Part IWednesday, December 3, 2014 - 8 a.m. to noon

Introduce owners, designers and contractors to the potential

advantages of lightweight concrete (LWC) for accelerated bridge

construction. While the reduction of density is an obvious

advantage of lightweight concrete, especially where large

prefabricated concrete elements are being used, there are other

advantages including enhanced durability, which contribute to

extending the service life of the structure and delaying further

inconvenience to the traveling public when future repairs or

replacement would be required.

Speaker: Reid W. Castrodale, President, Castrodale Engineering

Consultants, Concord, NC

W-02: Design of Concrete Bridges using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design SpecificationWednesday, December 3, 2014 - 1 to 5 p.m.

The NCHRP 15-46 study, entitled “Design Management (DM)

Guide for Design-Build and Construction Manager / General

Contractor Projects” resulted in a set of practices that are useful

today, for the creation and execution of an effective and efficient

design management process for fast-track transportation

construction projects, specifically those developed using

alternative delivery such as Design Build (DB) and Construction

Manager /General Contractor (CMGC) delivery methods. The

objective of this workshop is to present the recommendations

Accelerated Bridge Construction University Transportation Center (ABC-UTC)www.abc-utc.fiu.edu

Building a safer transportation system, one bridge at a time.

ABC-UTC Consortium Members

The ABC-UTC consortium members have well established, working

relationships with one another that span decades. The ABC-UTC’s research

team is particularly well suited to solving the remaining barriers to widespread

implementation of ABC practices and construction of longer service-life

bridges: Center director Dr. Atorod Azizinamini of FIU is a recognized expert

in ABC, bridge design and design for service life; the University of Nevada-

Reno has nationally and internationally recognized programs in earthquake

engineering, and Iowa State University has long been recognized nationally for

its bridge engineering program, which emphasizes ABC. Further, the research

team includes Mary Lou Ralls, former State Bridge Engineer of Texas and

currently an affiliate of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department

at FIU. As director of ABC-UTC’s technology transfer, Ms. Ralls ensures the

effective and timely implementation of the results developed.

History of ABC-UTC (www.abc-utc.fiu.edu)

Recognizing the need for a dedicated center for ABC, a group of renowned

U.S. bridge engineering professionals gathered at FIU in November 2010,

three years prior to the establishment of ABC-UTC. The group established

– on a voluntary basis, without external funding and supported entirely by

just $50,000 of seed funding from FIU – the Center for Accelerated Bridge

Construction (abc.fiu.edu) with the objective of helping the bridge profession.

The ABC Center at FIU officially commenced its activities in January 2011, with

a concentration on technology transfer of existing knowledge. Beginning in

March 2011, the ABC Center at FIU offered free webinars on a monthly basis

to engineers and other bridge professionals. These webinars have continued

under ABC-UTC and, on average, attract more than 4,000 bridge professionals

each month. The establishment of the ABC-UTC at FIU, through RITA of U.S.

DOT, has allowed the founders of the ABC Center at FIU to dive further into

their mission of aiding the bridge profession by embarking on many ABC-

related activities such as working to improve ABC workforce development,

undertaking various educational activities and expanding the Center’s

technology transfer activities. The existing ABC Center at FIU created a sturdy

foundation for the new ABC-UTC to hit the ground running. The ABC-UTC is

the only federally funded national center with the sole mission of helping the

nation in the area of ABC. At ABC-UTC, we would like to say thank you to

the entire bridge industry and federal and state agencies for your continued

support, encouragement and active involvement.
