HIGH-PERFORMANCE BRIDGE MATERIALS: FOCUS ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS

High-performance concrete is one of the most significant new materials available for rehabilitating bridges today. It provides better long-term performance and reduced life-cycle costs. State departments of transportation are expressing interest in HPC structures. Nebraska, Virginia, and Washington have HPC projects underway, and many other agencies have contacted the FHWA for federal participation in their own upcoming projects. The civil engineering community and the FHWA recently began to show serious interest in fiber-reinforced polymer, also known as polymer matrix composites.
