• Description:
  History: LADOTD has been gradually introducing high performance, high strength concrete into its bridge construction program. At the same time, LTRC has been sponsoring research work to address design and construction issues related to the utilization of high performance concrete. Conclusions and recommendations: This research, along with national research efforts in this area, gave the designers the information necessary to apply the new high strength concrete in the bulb-tee girder design for the I-10 twin spans. Detailed recommendations from the three studies can be found in the reports listed in the Reference section and are also available for download at http://www.ltrc.lsu.edu/pubs_final_reports.html on LTRC’s Web site.
