Low-Cement Engineered Cementitious Composites: Application in Bridge Link Slabs

Abstract

AbstractOne effective method for mitigating corrosion issues stemming from expansion joints in bridge decks is to replace expansion joints with link slabs. New link slabs are being constructed with fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). Engineered cementitious ...Practical ApplicationsLink slabs are effective alternatives to expansion joints in bridge structures, as they help mitigate corrosion typically caused by expansion joints. Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are particularly suitable for ...
