Construction of a 50 Metre Long Ultra High Performance Ductile Concrete
ABC-DES008-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
One of the most significant breakthrough developments in concrete technology at the end of the 20th century was that of ultra-high performance ‘ductile’ concrete (UHPdC) with compressive strength up to 200 MPa and remarkable improvements in…

ABC-MHB004-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Reinforced concrete made its way into road bridges at the start of the twentieth century after being invented by Joseph Monier in 1875. By 1950 reinforced concrete was dominant for small and medium spans and vying with steel for longer spans. Their…
Specifying Sulfate-Resisting Concrete
ABC-SAS009-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
The Sulfate-resisting concrete is traditionally specified by cement type and concrete mix proportions in terms of maximum water-cement ratio and/or minimum cement content.
Testing and Specifying Chloride Resistance of Concrete
ABC-SAS010-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
A wide range of test methods has been used to measure the resistance of concrete to chloride penetration. Each method is purported to measure the property of concrete central to the chloride transport mechanism into concrete. They include water…
Optimising Precast Bridge Girders for Sustainability with the use of High Performance Concrete
ABC-WPD010-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
The standard Super-T bridge girders used in Australia were developed to provide optimum performance at a time when the maximum concrete grade covered by the bridge design code was 50 MPa. This paper examines the opportunities for improved…
RTA Study on the Use of Self-Compacting Concrete
ABC-SAS008-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Self-compacting concrete (also known as Super-workable concrete in Australia and Self-consolidating concrete in North America) is defined in EN 206 Part 9: Additional Rules for Selfcompacting Concrete (SCC) as concrete that is able to flow and…
Degradation of Pile Exposed to Acid Sulphate Soil
ABC-WPD006-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Durability design of piles is usually carried out based on AS 2159 and AS 3600. It is widely known that the durability of concrete in acid sulphate environments is significantly influenced by the type of binder
The Use of Bar Chairs in Bridgeworks - An Assessment of bar chairs for use in precast concrete
ABC-SAS012-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
The Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) has had various concerns regarding the quality of the “cover concrete” produced by contractors and suppliers using certain types of bar chairs in the manufacture of concrete products for RTA bridges.…
Geopolymer Green Concrete: Reducing the Carbon Footprint - The VicRoads Experience
ABC-SAS005-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Geopolymer concrete consists of the normal components of fine and coarse aggregate, any required admixtures and aluminosilicate based industry byproducts such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag which can be activated with a…
Fatigue Life Estimation for Existing Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges
ABC-IAR004-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Bridges with reinforced concrete slabs built in Western Australia between the mid 1970s and the late 1980s are likely to have cold-worked steel reinforcement. These slabs were designed to the NAASRA Bridge Standard, the national standard current…
