The variables assessed within the study included the performance of both a conventional connection and the novel uhpc connection when installed on both steel and precast concrete. Ten precast concrete deck panels were designed and manufactured for concrete bridges. The use of precast high performance concrete (hpc) deck panels is a common method to speed construction and alleviate user inconvenience during initial construction;
This paper conducted flexural tests on the new joints. First, the exceptional mechanical properties of uhpc simplify the.
