Virginia Research Report Council: Evaluation of Lightweight High Performance Concrete in Bulb-T Beams and Decks in Two Bridges on Route 33 in Virginia

By CELIK OZYILDIRIM, Ph.D., P.E., Principal Research Scientist

Lightweight high performance concrete (LWHPC) is expected to provide high strength and high durability along with reduced weight. The purpose of this research was to evaluate and compare the prestressed LWHPC bulb-T beams and decks in two bridge structures. The bridges are on Route 33 near the confluence of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers into the York River at West Point, Virginia
