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. 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.
