For over 30 years, MnDOT has used the same low slump concrete overlay mixture to extend the service life of bridge decks. However, MnDOT suspected that changes in the materials used in the mixture over time may have contributed to increased cracking. This project evaluated a new mixture design, with and without glass fibers, to reduce cracking, improve sustainability and lower costs.
