The present disclosure relates to a segmental joint of cast-in-place UHPC bridge beam, and belongs to the field of bridge structure. The joint comprises a plurality of female joints disposed at an end of a first segment and a plurality of male joints disposed at an end of a second segment, wherein each female joints and the male joints are correspondingly connected to form a tongue-and-groove connection, and each of the male joints is of a structure with big outer part and small inner part. The beam segment joint of the present disclosure not only applies to the joint connection between the segmental cast-in-place UHPC beam segments and the construction of the segmental cast-in-place UHPC beam segment, but also to joint connection of UHPC bridge deck of UHPC-steel composite beam and of full UHPC bridge deck of UHPC composite box girder with corrugated steel webs and to UHPC bridge deck construction.

A technique for protecting joints in pavement structures includes applying a hardener/densifier to one or more surfaces that define a joint in a pavement structure and, optionally, to portions of one or more surfaces that are located adjacent to the joint. One or more other compounds, such as hydrophobic materials, water-resistant materials, anti-scaling compounds, anti-wear compounds, multi-functional blended compositions and the like, may also be applied to the surfaces that define a joint and/or to portions of one or more surfaces that are adjacent to the joint. A seal may also be formed in a joint in a pavement structure. Joints that have been protected in accordance with teachings of this disclosure are also disclosed.
