Deck Panels

Enhanced quality and reduced on-site construction time are the basic features of prefabricated bridge elements and systems. Prefabricated lightweight bridge decks have already started finding their place in accelerated bridge construction (ABC). Therefore, the development of deck panels using high strength and high performance concrete has become an active area of research. Further optimization in such deck systems is possible using prestressing or replacement of raw materials with sustainable and recyclable materials. This research involves experimental evaluation of six full-depth precast prestressed high strength fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC) and six partial-depth sustainable ultra-high performance concrete (sUHPC) composite bridge deck panels. The composite panels comprise UHPC prepared with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with the replacement of 30% cement content overlaid by recycled aggregate concrete made with replacement of 30% of coarse aggregates with recycled aggregates. The experimental variables for six HSFRC panels were depth, level of prestressing, and shear reinforcement. The six sUHPC panels were prepared with different shear and flexural reinforcements and sUHPC-normal/recycled aggregate concrete interface. Experimental results exhibit the promise of both systems to serve as an alternative to conventional bridge deck systems.

The low strength property of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) limits its widespread application in the production of high-strength recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). In this study, RCA properties were improved prior to its incorporation into an RAC mixture through surface treatment. This mixture was subsequently diversified considering the benefits of adding various fiber-reinforced systems to enhance RAC performance. Two types of short discrete synthetic fibers, namely, polyolefin and polypropylene, were added in single and hybrid forms. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the diversified modification of RAC mixture production on the mechanical strength of the resulting RAC. Various properties of the modified RAC were analyzed. Although the modified RAC mixture using treated RCA significantly enhanced the mechanical strength of this RAC, the diversification of the RAC mixture with additional polyolefin and polypropylene fibers, particularly in the hybrid form, further optimized the RAC performance.
