Implementation of a Strategic Plan for HPC Bridges

This paper describes how the high performance concrete (HPC) Lead States Team published a Transition Plan that listed several goals in 2000. One of the main goals was to “develop a long-term strategic plan for HPC bridges in partnership with government, industry, and academia.” Under the leadership of the National Concrete Bridge Council (NCBC), a focus group of federal and state bridge engineers, professors, and industry representatives met to identify critical issues in the design and construction of long life bridges to help solve the deficient bridge problem in the United States. Discussions at the focus group meeting provided the foundation for a strategic plan prepared by NCBC. The strategic plan focuses on the public’s expectations for the present and future.
