Pragmatic Precast/Prestressed Girder Acceptance Criteria

The objectives of this research are to collect and quantify the types and occurrences of girder nonconformance in Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). To thoroughly review and synthesize quality requirements; to utilize computational models to determine tiered acceptance thresholds; to assess which nonconformance issues are associated with service life reduction, making contracting recommendations for appropriate contracting structures (e.g., penalties) for nonconforming elements; and to summarize research findings in a pragmatic form by providing recommendations for a tiered acceptance system via a draft GDOT quality manual for precast/prestressed girders.
