Project Spotlight: UHPC takes on heat, humidity of Malaysia bridge locale

Abstract

Precast concrete played an important role in the building of a major submersible ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) bridge in Perak, Malaysia. A number of options for the bridge superstructure mate¬rials were considered for the Lambor Bridge, including conventional concrete and structural steel; however, these were abandoned in favor of UHPC, which offered a number of benefits. Dura Technology was the precaster for the project.
