Based on the results from the development of highperformance concrete, guidelines for a high performance concrete bridge over Burnett Creek on SR 43, just north of I\ue2\u20ac?65 near WestLafayette, Indiana, will be prepared. In addition, the effects of different curing conditions, with respect to temperature and moistureconditions, were evaluated. The use of 15.2 mm (0.6 in) prestressing strand in girders made of 69 MPa (10 ksi) concrete was alsoevaluated with respect to pullout resistance and transfer and development lengths
