HPC: Safe, Affordable, and Efficient

The 2008 Concrete Bridge Conference (CBC) is being held May 4-7, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. The Conference features a great technical program of over 120 presentations and an exciting exhibition of consultants, material and service suppliers, and associations. Most of the presenters prepared peer reviewed papers which are contained on this CD. In addition, a tour of the local I-64 bridge construction is being conducted on Sunday. Ten precast, prestressed concrete I-girder bridges under construction are visited during the tour. The first three CBCs held in Nashville, TN (2002), Charlotte, NC (2004), and Reno, NV (2006) were each attended by over 300 bridge professionals including Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and other highway agency officials. The 2008 CBC is being cosponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, National Concrete Bridge Council, Missouri Department of Transportation, and the American Concrete Institute and is organized by the Portland Cement Association. The 2008 CBC is being held in conjunction with the Post-Tensioning Institute’s Annual Conference. The two conferences have separate technical programs but joint exhibition and social functions. Over 600 people attend the two conferences. This CD contains 100 peer reviewed papers. For papers which have not been received by the deadline for publication, only abstracts are included on the CD. For additional information on any of the papers or abstracts, contact the authors.
