Abstract
Pearl-Chain Bridge technology is a recently developed prefabricated arch solution for road and railway bridges allowing faster, more environmentally friendly, and cheaper bridge construction. This study compared the strength and durability properties of three different types of fill material to find the most optimal fill for Pearl-Chain Bridges. Sub-base gravel, cement-stabilized gravel, and pervious concrete were tested with respect to compressive strength, stiffness, splitting tensile strength, permeability, freeze-thaw durability, and shrinkage. This paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the different types of fill material in arch bridges, particularly in Pearl-Chain Bridges.
