THE EVOLUTION OF HPC IN VIRGINIA
Claude S. Napier, Jr., Federal Highway Administration Virginia has used a systematic approach to improve its existing and new concrete bridge structures. The key to success has been close cooperation between the bridge, materials, and construction engineers and the researchers,
HPC IN VERMONT
Jim Wild, Vermont Agency of Transportation Vermont’s awareness of high performance concrete (HPC) began in 1997 at an HPC Bridge Showcase meeting held in New Hampshire. After the meeting, Vermont’s Agency of Transportation (VTrans) began plans to incorporate higher performing
