This impressive bridge, which spans the Stono River in Charleston, SC, contains Lafarge’s cement and fly ash. The lightweight concrete deck also contains silica fume. The use of high-performance concrete is expected to save the South Carolina Department of Transportation $250,000 in annual maintenance costs, and the bridge can resist significant seismic loads and the force of an 800-ton vessel.
