Learn about Ultra-High Performance Concrete for Prefabricated Bridge Element Connections

by

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) can be used to create simple, strong, long-lasting connections needed for successful construction using prefabricated bridge elements (PBEs). Compared to many solutions in current use, UHPC allows for small, simple-to-construct connections that require less volume of field-cast concrete and do not require post-tensioning. The mechanical properties of UHPC also allow for redesign … Read more Learn about Ultra-High Performance Concrete for Prefabricated Bridge Element Connections
