About the research
Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) has been recognized as a choice of material for mitigating bridge infrastructure challenges as well as to introduce innovative construction projects. In recent years, the use of UHPC has gained momentum in bridge projects across the country. However, formal structural design guidance for this material does not exist in North America, and therefore a comprehensive effort is required to formulate recommended design guidance so that the application of this material can be broadened.
The objective of this project is to develop comprehensive guidance that can be used for the structural design of UHPC and that can be eventually implemented or cited by other standards and codes.

About the research
Objective
The purpose of this effort was to conduct a second national winter maintenance meeting for Aurora, Clear Roads, SICOP, PNS, and the FHWA to share research results from the peer exchange held in 2007, get updates from each snow-belt state, and discuss other issues related to winter snow removal operations. The Second National Winter Maintenance Peer Exchange was held in August 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin.

About the research
Objective
This project looked to determine under what condition frost on bridge decks creates slippery conditions and then to develop a forecast model that can predict when this may occur at a site or across a region. Work under Phase 1 is complete. Remaining work was completed under the second phase, Project 2004-05.
