    Learning Objectives:

    Upon completing this program, the participant should know:

    1. What is Ultra-High Performance Ductile Concrete?


    2. Where and how it is used.
    3. How to develop new solutions with UHP Ductile Concrete
    4. How it will be used in the future.

    What is Ultra-High Performance Concrete?

    • UHPC is produced with materials commonly found in concrete (cement,


    silica fume, sand, superplasticizer and water) plus unique materials like
    ground quartz and fibers (high carbon metallic or poly-vinyl alcohol [PVA]).

    • The fiber and UHPC chemical


    formulation is customized to
    best fit application requirements.
    Factors include strength and
    rheology requirements, exposure
    to corrosive agents, desired
    aesthetics and exposure to
    human contact.

    • Not all UHPC’s are EQUAL!


    What is Ultra-High Performance Concrete?

    • A technological breakthrough
    • Superior characteristics include:
    – ultra-high strength
    – ductility
    – durability
    – highly moldable/flowable/dry-cast
    • excellent form replication
    – aesthetic design flexibility, quality surface aspect

    What is Ultra-High Performance Concrete?

    • “Materials with a cement matrix & characteristic


    compressive strength in excess of 22,000 psi,
    possibly attaining 36,000 psi, and containing
    fibers in order to achieve ductile behavior under
    tension and, if possible, to dispense with
    passive (non-prestressed) reinforcement.”(1)

    • “UHPFRC differs from HPC by:


    – compressive strength > 22,000 psi (150 MPa);
    – systematic use of fibers to ensure non-brittle, and;
    – high binder content & special aggregates.”(1)

    (1) Source; SETRA “UHPFRC Recommendations”, January 2002.


    It Can Provide:
    • Compressive strengths up to 30,000 psi;
    • Flexural strengths up to 6,000 psi;
    • Direct tension up to 1,450 psi;
    • Ductility;
    • greater capacity to deform and support flexural
    and tensile loads, even after initial cracking.
    • Abrasion resistance similar to natural rock and;
    • Impermeability
    • almost no carbonation or penetration of chlorides

    Note: Not all UHPCs provide all of these properties.
