Title: HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES
Accession Number: 00677774
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: High-strength concrete is generally defined as having a compressive strength above 62.1 MPa (9,000 psi). It is beginning to find widespread application in the transportation industry. Its use in transportation structures provides greater flexibility in design and improved durability compared with concrete of normal strength. As a result high-strength concrete is an ideal bridge material, allowing more efficient, lower-maintenance structures to be developed. This article discusses the benefits and limitations of use of high-strength concrete and describes research being conducted by the Construction Materials Research Group of the University of Texas at Austin to evaluate the use of high-strength concrete in highway bridges in Texas.
