  • Shrinkage study of high performance concrete for bridge decks

    Creator:
    Fu, Tengfei
    Abstract:
    In the field of civil infrastructure, bridge desks are typically constructed using high performance concrete (HPC). Concrete bridge decks demand qualities such as low permeability, high abrasion resistance, superior durability, and long design life. Over decades of field and laboratory experience, many HPC bridge decks have been found to be...

  • The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

    Creator:
    Bañuelos, José
    Abstract:
    High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....
