Abstract:
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious composite material with extraordinary mechanical and durability properties. This article discusses the construction of a short-span bridge using UHPC as well as the cost considerations associated with building an entire bridge with UHPC and reflects on lessons learned from the process.
