Abstract:

The Strategic Highway Research Program awarded a contract to investigate the use of high-performance concrete in highway pavements and bridge structures. One of the primary objectives of this research effort was "to provide recommendations and guidelines for using these concretes in highway applications." As a result, the research program included an examination of the field performance of high-performance concrete. Field test sections were constructed in Arkansas, Illinois, Nebraska, New York, and North Carolina. Except in North Carolina, the installations consisted of full-depth and lane-width patches. Traffic and environmental exposure conditions differ for all locations. Each batch of concrete brought to a site was tested for its fresh concrete properties. Specimens were cast for long-term testing too. The field installations will continue to be monitored for at least 18 months after construction. Details about site locations, the type of concrete used, the construction process, and the testing plan are provided, and the most important lessons learned from the field trials are discussed.
