Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) 1st Edition

Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), 1st Edition by Xudong Shao — a definitive, forward-looking guide for engineers, designers, and infrastructure leaders seeking the next generation of resilient bridge solutions.

Discover how UHPC is reshaping bridge design and construction worldwide. This book opens with compelling insights into the material science of UHPC—its incredible compressive strength, enhanced durability, and exceptional resistance to corrosion and fatigue—then moves quickly into practical design strategies, detailing how those properties translate into slimmer sections, longer spans, reduced maintenance, and life-cycle cost savings. Clear explanations of mix design, reinforcement approaches, connection detailing, and casting techniques make complex concepts accessible without sacrificing technical rigor.

Rich with applied examples and design scenarios, the text supports projects across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond, offering regionally relevant considerations for seismic performance, harsh climates, and accelerated construction methods. Engineers will value the step-by-step design examples, performance-based evaluation methods, and guidance for integrating UHPC into rehabilitation and new-build programs for highway, pedestrian, and long-span structures.

Whether you’re a practicing structural engineer, academic researcher, contractor, or infrastructure policymaker, this 1st Edition equips you to specify, design, and deliver innovative bridges that meet modern demands for sustainability and longevity. Practical, authoritative, and internationally focused, Xudong Shao’s work is an essential reference for anyone tasked with building the resilient infrastructure of tomorrow.
