Abstract:

Advancements in the science of concrete ; materials have led to the development of a ; new class of cementitious composites called ; ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). UHPC ; exhibits mechanical and durability properties ; that make it an ideal candidate for use in deveoping new solutions to pressing concerns about ; highway infrastructure deterioration, repair, ; and replacement.(1,2) Field-cast UHPC details ; connecting prefabricated structural elements ; used for bridge construction have proven to be ; an application that has captured the attention ; of owners, specifiers, and contractors across ; the country. These connections can be simpler to construct and can provide more robust ; long-term performance than connections constructed through conventional methods.(3) This ; document provides guidance on the design and ; deployment of field-cast UHPC connections.
