Accelerated Bridge Construction: Best Practices and Techniques

by Mohiuddin Ali Khan

The traveling public has no patience for prolonged, high cost construction projects. This puts highway construction contractors under intense pressure to minimize traffic disruptions and construction cost. Actively promoted by the Federal Highway Administration, there are hundreds of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) construction programs in the United States, Europe and Japan. Accelerated Bridge Best Practices and Techniques provides a wide range of construction techniques, processes and technologies designed to maximize bridge construction or reconstruction operations while minimizing project delays and community disruption.

I finished Accelerated Bridge Construction: Best Practices and Techniques in a single weekend and now I'm the annoying friend who won't shut up about it. Mohiuddin Ali Khan writes with a ridiculous amount of energy, like every page had to earn its spot. The ending is a little too neat. Good for people who like momentum, bad for slow-burn purists.

If you think Accelerated Bridge Construction is just light reading, you missed the entire point—Mohiuddin Ali Khan is subtly picking apart the illusions that keep society running on autopilot.
