Field Demonstration of an Innovative Box Beam Connection

The objectives of the proposed research are to design, construct, and evaluate the performance of a yet-to-be-constructed box beam bridge in either Delaware or Dubuque County. The specific objectives associated with this work are: (1) Design a field bridge using previously developed standards. (2) Document construction. (3) Evaluate performance. (4) Information dissemination.The proposed research will consist of four tasks: Task 1: Meet with the Project's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to review the project scope and work plan. Task 2: Bridge Design. Task 3: Performance. Task 4: Preparation of Draft Final Report.
