The dead load of NWC limits span length and increases substructure requirements, all of which work against the goals of building long-lasting and efficient infrastructure. In areas that need seismically resilient bridges, SLC’s reduced dead loads can also weaken the magnitude of seismic forces that act on a structure. What is ESCS?
