Abstract:
This presentation will look at the design, fabrication and experimental verification of the UHPC Decked I Beam for bridge girders. As part of the Prestressed/Precast Concrete Institute’s (PCI) study on the implementation of UHPC in precast long span structural elements in buildings and bridges, and due to lack of UHPC structural design codes, there is a need to perform experimental structural evaluation of these precast structural elements, including small scale specimens and full scale 15-m beam. The experimental findings and comparisons with design codes, as well as the environmental impact comparisons with conventional concrete and structural steel bridge girders will be presented.
