Title: TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF AUTOMATED REINFORCEMENT BAR FASTENING ON BRIDGE DECKS
Accession Number: 00641430
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The investment of public funds for construction and rehabilitation of transportation facilities continues to grow. At the same time, productivity in such projects remains stagnant, and injury rates and compensation claims are excessively high. Construction automation presents opportunities to overcome productivity, safety, and cost problems associated with transportation projects. The feasibility of automating rebar fastening is examined. Rebar fastening could be an ideal candidate for automation. Because of related occupational hazards and the repetitive and voluminous nature of the task, automated rebar fastening could yield high benefits without significant investments in technical innovation.
