Advancing bridge performance with UHPC
Over the past several years, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) field-cast joint connections have become a common bridge solution in Ontario and gained acceptance in various states, such as New York, Iowa, Montana, and Oregon. However, the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) recently enabled this material to be used in new ways, relying on its combination of superior properties—including improved strength, durability, and bond development—to overcome significant bridge design obstacles.
