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 nation’s highways. Superhydrophobic engineered cementitious composite (SECC) is a new advanced concrete material with polyvinyl alcohol fibers and hydrophobic compounds. The improved mechanical performance and improved durability of the material was demonstrated in CFIRE projects 04-09 and 05-10. SECC is an effective substitute to conventional concrete than can improve the strength and durability demanded in key regions of highway bridges. This report discusses the technology transfer of the material through the use of technical publications, conference presentations, and creation of a web-based platform dedicated to the material. The implementation of the material as a link slab on a ramp leading to a parking structure is also discussed.
