Abstract:The strength and durability of highway bridges are two of the key components in maintaining a
high level of freight transportation capacity on the nations highways.
The CFIRE project 04-09 demonstrated the feasibility of a new hybrid engineered cementitious
composite (SECCs), engineered cement based concrete combined with polyvinyl alcohol fibers
and hydrophobic compounds, to create a substitute concrete material which can provide the
strength and durability demanded in key regions of highway bridges. The Phase II project
investigated the durability of the developed SECCs.
