Looking to build stronger, more durable structures? A new review in Engineering explores how to fine-tune the flow properties ...

Conclusion UHPC has the potential to revolutionize the precast, prestressed concrete industry, especially in large-scale applications, where long spans or enhanced durability are beneficial.

Keywords: Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC); precast girder connection; Seismic performance; shake table test, Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) Abstract: The major objective of this study is ...

There's a dire need to repair aging infrastructure in the U.S., and an innovative building material could be a game changer. Embedded with steel fibers, ultra-high performance concrete is about ...

Engineers have created a system that sprays Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) onto structures. Such concrete not only has the potential to patch walls, fix pipes and restore drainage culverts, it ...
