Abstract:

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a stable and highly flowable concrete that consolidates without the help of external vibration and can flow through heavy reinforcement and around corners in complex formwork under its own weight. The exceptional performance of this remarkable material has attracted the attention of construction firms and DOTs in the United States interested in using SCC on new bridge construction and bridge repair projects. CSM has been granted a CDOT research project to participate in two SCC demonstration projects in the state of Colorado. The first project is part of the construction of structures P-18-BK and P-18-BM on I25 in Trinidad, CO. The second project is the repair of abutment supports of structures D-17-DA and DB on I-25 in Mead, CO. This report presents the study and recommendations for the repairs in Mead. The Mead project addresses the problem of locking the ends of a non-composite steel-girder bridge to its abutments.
