Precast Concrete Pavement Systems: Acceleration Through Innovation

Precast concrete pavement systems (PCPS) are being used by an increasing number of States for the repair and rehabilitation of pavements. A 2-day showcase sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Highways for LIFE (HfL) program in September 2009 spotlighted the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) use of PCPS for a $5 million project on I-66 in Fairfax County.

Ultra High Performance Concrete: Taking Concrete to New Levels

Two new Tech Briefs available from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) look at the opportunities ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) presents to create longer lasting bridges and facilitate rapid renewal of the Nation's highway infrastructure. Structural Behavior of a Prototype UHPC Pi-Girder (Pub. No. FHWA-HRT-09-068) and Structural Behavior of a 2nd Generation UHPC Pi-Girder (Pub. No. FHWA-HRT-09-069) both summarize research conducted by FHWA.
