Improving Bridge Preservation With UHPC

The Federal Highway Administration's Bridge Preservation Guide (FHWA-HIF-18-022) defines bridge preservation as "actions or strategies that prevent, delay, or reduce deterioration of bridges or bridge elements, restore the function of existing bridges, keep bridges in good or fair condition, and extend their service life." This article discusses the use of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), which has long been used for new construction in connections between prefabricated bridge elements. In the last few years, its use in bridge repair and preservation has increased as well.
