111423 Monthly Dinner Meeting at UNH
Please join CSCE at our monthly meeting at the University of New Haven on November 14, 2023. At this meeting, Andrew Foden Ph.D., P.E., and Jordy Padilla-Solis, P.E., of HNTB will give a presentation on Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) for Bridge Deck Rehabilitation. This meeting is co-sponsored by the CT Chapter of the ASCE Transportation & Development Institute and the ASCE Student Chapter at the University of New Haven.
UHPC has been used for the last few decades mainly as a joint fill material to connect prefabricated concrete elements, particularly for precast deck panels. However, not every structure needs a full deck replacement. This one-hour presentation will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art for the design, constructability, and feasibility of using UHPC for bridge deck overlays. Case studies, most notably the Delaware Memorial Bridge (Twin Suspension Bridge) will be discussed throughout the presentation.
Andrew Foden, Ph.D., P.E.
Andrew Foden is a national bridge practice consultant and vice president with HNTB. Dr. Foden’s career focuses on bridge design, technology, high performance materials, and advanced bridge assessment and management systems. He served as the lead subject matter expert for FHWA on the use of ultra-high-performance concrete as part of their Every-Day Counts rounds 3, 4 and 6. He is a member of numerous professional industry organizations including the Transportation Research Board, the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, and the American Concrete Institute, where he currently serves as the Chair of the Bridge Design committee. He holds both a B.S. and Ph.D. from Rutgers University.
