Ultra-High-Performance Concrete: An Emerging Technology Report

Abstract

UHPC is still in the process of finding a broader use.

The objective of this report is to introduce UHPC through a brief overview of production, properties, design, and applications, and to promote further use of UHPC and integration into today’s construction market.

Because the cost of UHPC is high when compared to conventional concrete, use should be focused toward applications that engage several of the exceptional properties of the material.

Current research needs have been identified as improved design guidance, standardization, and broader material knowledge
