"October 2002"--Tech. rpt. doc. page.; "January, 2001."; Includes bibliographical references (p. 142-144).; Final report.; Performed by University of Cincinnati, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, sponsored by Ohio Dept. of Transportation in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration under state job no.; Harvested from the web on 3/13/06As part of FHWA's multi-state SHRP High Performance Concrete (HPC) Implementation Program, a highway bridge in Ohio originally designed using normal concrete as a three-span adjacent box girder structure was able to be redesigned as a single-span HPC adjacent box girder bridge (referred to as the Ohio HPC Showcase Bridge) by using 70 MPa HPC and 15 mm diameter strands. Principal objectives of the FHWA HPC Program include the formation of partnerships among FHWA, state highway agencies, academia, and industry, and the promotion of technology transfer, which includes the research, design and construction aspects of the showcase HPC projects.As part of FHWA's multi-state SHRP High Performance Concrete (HPC) Implementation Program, a highway bridge in Ohio originally designed using normal concrete as a three-span adjacent box girder structure was able to be redesigned as a single-span HPC adjacent box girder bridge (referred to as the Ohio HPC Showcase Bridge) by using 70 MPa HPC and 15 mm diameter strands.
