Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Shear Keys in Concrete Bridge Superstructures [PDF]
Many existing bridges have adjacent girders that utilize grouted shear keys to transfer loads laterally across the superstructure. Cracking and leaking often cause degradation of the shear key and the girder.

ULTRA HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE BEHAVIORAL STUDY
It is investigated in the study paper how UHPC reacts when used as a bridge girder material. The early-age shrinkage, transfer length, creep behavior, and shrinkage following steam treatment of four optimized girders were all investigated. Data was gathered using vibrating wire gauges at strategic locations inside each girder after re casting.
