Infiltration into Concrete
• Water and solutions penetrate through poor quality concrete, joints, and cracks.
• Cause damage to reinforcement and concrete

Corrosion
• Corrosion is a major distress in reinforced concrete structures exposed to the environment.

Cracks
Charlie RobsonFormer VDOT State Materials Engineer
There are two kinds of concrete:• One cracked• One about to crack
![Page 10: Use of prepackaged ECC, VHPC, and UHPC in Bridge Structures](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051520/627f4e92f4245e00f23aa27f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Crack Control with Fibers
• Synthetic fibers in low amounts, 1.5 lb/yd3 (0.1% by volume) are used to minimize plastic shrinkage.
• Larger amounts of fibers up to 2% needed for crack control in hardened concrete.

Crack Control – FRC
• FRC: fiber-reinforced concrete– Improve tensile and flexural strengths– Increase ductility
• Keep crack width less than 0.1 mm. Crack widths > 0.2 mm can be and should be sealed.

HPFRC Applications in VDOT
• ECC is also known as bendable concrete used in shear keys, closure pours, and culvert repairs.
• VHPC is used in block-outs.
• UHPC is used in beams. It can meet VHPC requirements at early ages.

Conclusions
• Fibers in concrete can reduce the width and length of cracks and shorten the lap splices.
• The type and amount of fibers are important in crack control.• Concretes with high amounts of PVA or steel fibers can achieve crack widths
of less than 0.1 mm.• Prepackaged materials are available to control cracks and provide short lap
splices.
