SmartUP UHPC Utilized in Field Cast Connections for Series of Five TxDOT Bridges
UHPC has been a major component in many Accelerated Bridge Construction or ABC projects. To date, the major use of UHPC has been in prefabricated bridge element construction; sometimes called closure pours. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) recently utilized UHPC for prefabricated bridge element connections on a series of five bridges in North Texas.
SMART-UP® is an ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete for structural, architectural and design applications.
