ABSTRACT=<p>In Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is often used for connecting precast concrete bridge components, including deck portions of the Deck Bulb-T girders. An alternative low-cost non-proprietary UHPC has been proposed for use in place of the proprietary UHPC for connecting the precast components. The pullout behavior of steel reinforcing bars in closure pour with typical range for embedment lengths is studied for both proprietary and non-proprietary UHPC materials.</p>
