Study on the bending deformation properties of microcracked R-ECC road–bridge link slabs

Abstract A novel road-bridge link slab utilizing rubberized engineered cementitious composites (R-ECC) has been proposed for fully jointless bridges (FJBs). Preliminary research has shown that R-ECC road-bridge link slabs possess superior deformation absorption capacity, tensile strength, and crack...
