Abstract:

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a class of concrete that has emerged as a compelling material for use in the design, construction, and preservation of structures. UHPC provides mechanical and durability properties that are enhanced and distinct relative to conventional concrete, thus necessitating the use of design methodologies that facilitate the appropriate use of the material. With recent research and development-based advancements related to UHPC, and with a growing interest from bridge owners in the possibilities presented by this material, the U.S. bridge engineering community has an opportunity to consider and potentially adopt formal structural design guidance for UHPC structural elements. This document aims to support the development of formal UHPC structural design guidance by delivering a potential design framework for the community to consider. The report also provides two examples that will assist readers in better understanding key concepts included in the design framework.
