| Abstract | High-performance materials (HPM) are being applied to many areas of highway construction and maintenance. These materials range from engineered concrete and composite materials to specialty steels and recycled materials. Currently, most applications of these materials are in pavements and bridge superstructures. With the constant pressure on our stakeholders to manage the existing highway infrastructure with tighter budgets, higher costs, and continuing environmental concerns, the extended use of HPMs to other elements of the highway system, specifically substructures, foundations, and retaining structures, warrants investigation. To facilitate discussion on the above, a workshop was held at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) on August 28-29, 2006. This tech brief is a summary of the workshop proceedings. |
