SILICA FUME CONCRETE FOR BRIDGE DECKS

This report contains the findings of a study that was performed to determine the effects of the form and dosage of silica fume admixtures and other concrete mixture parameters on the concrete properties most relevant to bridge deck applications and to develop recommendations for silica fume concrete mixtures suitable for these applications. The report provides a comprehensive description of the research, including provisions to help highway engineers select silica fume concrete mixtures and adopt construction practices that should enhance bridge deck performance. The contents of this report will be of immediate interest to bridge and construction engineers and others involved in the design, construction, and rehabilitation of bridge decks.
