Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Segmental Bridge Technology: Toward Sustainable Bridge Construction
AbstractThis paper presents the current state of practice in the development of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) bridge construction in Malaysia. Since 2006, Dura Technology (DT) has pioneered research in the optimal uses of UHPC in bridge construction through its Sustainable Bridge Construction Initiative. After several years of research and development work, DT has collaborated with the Malaysia Works Ministry to design and build bridges in some of their bridge projects, especially those bridges under the rural development program where sourcing of material, site access, and construction method are major challenges when using conventional methods. The most current information and details on the completed and ongoing UHPC bridge projects in Malaysia are presented. To date, a total of 26 segmental UHPC bridge projects have been constructed and opened for service. In this paper, a selected UHPC bridge case study is examined in terms of the design aspects, quality control, constructability, and of how UHPC has helped to make the bridge more affordable, sustainable, easier to build, and economical.
