CONCRETE GIRDERS.
Degree Candidate:- Blplop Patel,

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a new class of concrete
.UHPC is unique strength and durability makes it an attractive material for
precast bridge girder construction .However, commercial UHPC mixes currently
available in the US market. The general objective of this project was to
promote the use of UHPC in bridge construction.
The developed mixes consist of type III cement , fine sand , class C fly ash ,
silica fume high range water reducer , and water . Steel fibers are eliminated
due to their high cost and grade 8 ksi. Welded wire reinforcement (WWR) was
used instead to substitute for the loss in the tensile/shear capacity .The next
generation of UHPC concrete that can be used to develop improved bridges
capable of present and future environmental, traffic, maintenance and
economical requirements .Developing on the superior materials properties of
UHPC, the research discussed here in studies the behavior of UHPC when
when used as a bridge girder material.
The findings from this report suggest a number of potential topics for fiber-
reinforced concrete research:
Develop optimized bridge girders that take advantage of the higher strength
use fiber concrete material properties of UHPC. These bridge girders should
use the tensile and compressive capacities of UHPC, while also enhancing
the design life of the bridge as a whole by eliminating many of the less
durable components of a normal bridge.Fabricate full-scale, optimized
UHPC bridge girders to resolve problems associated with casting slender
concrete members with fiber-reinforced concrete.Develop a practical test to
quantitatively determine the postcracking uniaxial tensile fiber-reinforced
concrete behavior of UHPC.
