- Synopsis
- This report describes the material and structural feature of the link slab for prestressed concrete girders using new type of fiber reinforced cementitous composite. Modulus of elasticity of the material is lower than that of usual concrete, and the toughness is higher. Even if the deformation of the slab used with the material grows, the minute cracks are expected to well-distribute in the slab. Making the bridge continuous becomes possible by developed method.
