Transportation research record, 1998•journals.sagepub.comHigh-performance concrete (HPC) bridges can be cost-effective both initially and in the long
term, provided the design and construction optimize the improved performance
characteristics of HPC. Using the high-strength characteristic of HPC can reduce the
required number and size of beams. Using the improved durability characteristics of HPC
can reduce maintenance requirements and extend the service life. Practical guidelines help
design and construction engineers implement HPC in bridges.
