Figure 3 shows a conventional concrete slab beam used for 40- to 60-ft spans in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) applications. The figure also shows an optimized UHPC voided box slab using ...

A conventional beam versus a Minimass beam. Minimass Reinforced concrete has a large carbon footprint due to the chemistry and the heat required to make cement, which is mixed with sand and ...

The advantage is that it uses 78% less concrete than a conventional beam with the same properties. The key is that in a normal beam, not much of the concrete is bearing a significant load.

The Steel District Office’s design included 2908 precast concrete elements, 86 of which were UHPC beams. “The clear span is a big deal, absolutely,” he said.
