The objectives of this research are
all aimed at increasing the speed of substructure construction while
improving durabiliy. Specifically, these objectives are:M
1. To identify possible precast substructure systems and select
systems that appear most appropriate for use in Wisconsin
2. To develop standard plans for selected components and connections.
3.To prepare design examples, showing how a system is selected and
how components and connections can be sized.
4.Prepare cost estimates for varius alternate standard subsystems.
5.Suggest alternate substructure specifications and contracting
methods that will encourage the use of rapid construction techniques
by contractors.
