In the past twenty years, new information technologies and systems have been developed that allow for the effective management and analysis of such information flows. http://www.pcap.org/CaseStudies/05_BunkerHillBridge.aspx James Bergmaier James Bergmaier Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:20:24 GMT 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z Spanning 1,200 feet across a deep ravine, the Bunker Hill Bridges stretched the range of prestressed concrete beams and pushed the envelope of constructability 100 feet above the city of Scranton. http://www.pcap.org/CaseStudies/06_LoysburgBridge.aspx James Bergmaier James Bergmaier Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:20:24 GMT 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z The bridge is 1,000 feet long, built with thirty-four prestressed concrete super-beams eight feet deep and averaging 125-feet in length. Its eight spans are supported by seven piers, four beams across for each of the six southern spans, five across for the two northern approach spans. New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company, Inc., prime contractor on the $6.1 million project, fabricated the beams at its Newcrete Products plant in nearby Roaring Spring. http://www.pcap.org/CaseStudies/07_TreichlersBridge.aspx James Bergmaier James Bergmaier Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:20:24 GMT 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z Built by Nyleve Bridge Corporation, of Emmaus, Pennsylvania as a contractor alternate design to the weathering steel structures originally planned and designed for this site, the Treichler's bridges speak volumes about the prestressed concrete industry's team-based approach to bridge design and construction. The sanded aesthetic and low maintenance function of each of the structure's nine spans represent the kind of cost-saving partnering and quality management that PennDoT, the bridge owner, strives for. http://www.pcap.org/default.aspx Matthew Gerrior Matthew Gerrior Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:20:24 GMT 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z Prestressed Concrete Association of Pennsylvania http://www.pcap.org/DesignAids/Default.aspx Matthew Gerrior Matthew Gerrior Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:20:24 GMT 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z 2005-12-12T23:20:24Z Preliminary Design Aids
