Multi-scale investigation of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete for mitigating early-age shrinkage cracking in bridge deck pavements.

Early-age shrinkage cracking in concrete bridge deck pavements is a pervasive infrastructure challenge, with approximately 42% of decks developing cracks within the first week after construction. These defects raise long-term maintenance costs and weaken structural durability. This study assesses hybrid fiber-reinforce...
