The primary goal of this research is to establish accurate stress–strain relationships for LWC and ICC and to evaluate their mechanical and transport properties under realistic conditions. The study measures potential improvements in durability and service life, assesses lifecycle cost and environmental impact, and identifies design limitations in current specifications. By providing empirical data and analytical models, the research supports the development of updated design guidelines and promotes the adoption of LWC and ICC in highway and bridge construction to support critical U.S. transportation infrastructure.
Concrete is the primary construction material of bridges, roads, and other transportation infrastructure across the United States, but conventional no
