• Abstract:
  As part of a national experiment sponsored by the FHWA under the Innovative Bridge Research and Construction (IBRC) ; program, CDOT used self-consolidating concrete (SCC) to construct abutments, piers, and retaining walls on a bridge ; replacement project. The purpose of this study was to determine the procedures and possible benefits associated with ; flowing concrete. Based on the study presented in this report, it was determined that SCC was used successfully in the I-25 ; bridge replacement project in Trinidad. Unfortunately, the all-around lack of construction experience with SCC resulted in ; numerous aesthetic problems that are atypical of the material. However, despite numerous visual defects that required ; patching and repair, it is believed that each component has the required structural integrity necessary for safe highway ; transportation projects.
