Building a New Generation of Bridges:
A Strategic Perspective for the Nation
Bridges Home > High Performance Concrete


Click to visit the Building a New Generation of Bridges Website Developed by PCA, PCI, and other allies acting under the National Concrete Bridge Council, the strategic perspective discusses the condition of our nation's bridges and assesses their impact on economy, safety, public convenience, and infrastructure funding.

It makes a strong case for greater investment in the development of high-performance concrete to improve the condition of our nation's bridges, ease traffic congestion, and reduce construction and maintenance costs.

The perspective describes a strategic plan with four goals for increasing the use of high-performance concrete bridges:

  • Goal 1: Reduce Congestion and Improve Safety
  • Goal 2: Train the Workforce
  • Goal 3: Reduce Life-Cycle Costs
  • Goal 4: Ensure Bridges Meet Expectations
The strategic perspective is available at no charge in three forms: the complete 28-page document, a brief summary brochure, and as a mini-CD. Contact Shri Bhide.
