... TFHRC has conducted numerous activities supporting UHPC adoption, including research on structural properties, development of testing methods, development of design guidelines, and performance evaluations. Because of the relative benefits and costs of UHPC compared with conventional concrete described in Section 2, TFHRC has focused on encouraging the adoption of UHPC-C through research and publication efforts, including disseminating infor mation through workshops and "consulting" informally with state and local transportation departments.

... Transportation leaders across the country meet at regional summits to discuss the innovations and strategies for implementation. After the regional summits, State Transportation Innovation Councils meet to evaluate the innovations and direct their deployment.

... Many researchers and owner agencies recognized TFHRC as both their preliminary and their primary source of information about UHPC-C, initiating their engagement with the material and continually serving as a guide for best practices through workshops, EDC initiatives, research publications, and technical reports. Interviewees indicated that Ben Graybeal, leader of the bridge engineering team that oversees TFHRC's UHPC-C research and outreach initiatives, has served as a champion for UHPC-C in the United States, with a particularly sizable influence on adoption.
