Ultra-High Performance Concrete Composite Connections for Precast Concrete Bridge Decks: [Tech Brief]

Ben Graybeal

Abstract

This document is a technical summary of the unpublished Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) report, "Ultra-High Performance Concrete Composite Connections for Precast Concrete Bridge Decks," which is available only through the National Technical Information Service (PB2012-107569). Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been used to develop a novel composite connection detail for joining precast concrete bridge decks supporting superstructure elements. The results of the research effort and recommendations for the use of this connection detail are provided in this technical summary. \n
