• Abstract:
  The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) has been gradually ; introducing high performance concrete (HPC) into their bridge construction programs. The ; Rigolets Pass Bridge is a 62-span bridge with a total length of 5,489 ft. (1,673 m). HPC was used ; in two of the 62 bridge spans. These spans each utilized four 131.2-ft. (40-m) long BT-78 girders ; at 12-ft. 7-in. (3.83-m) spacing. In conjunction with the Rigolets Pass Bridge Project, the state ; initiated a research program with the objective of monitoring the structural behavior of one of ; the two HPC bridge spans. The research program was jointly performed by the Tulane University ; Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, CTLGroup, and Henry G. Russell, Inc. ; under the sponsorship of the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) in cooperation ; with LADOTD.
