Exploring the Cost Implications of Using Ultra High Performance Concrete
This chapter examines the breakdown of costs in using ultra high performance concrete (UHPC), with a focus on fibers, cementitious materials, and admixtures. It discusses how despite the higher initial cost of UHPC compared to standard mixes, the benefits like smaller sections, greater spans, reduced structural elements, and increased durability over a 300-year design life can make it a more cost-effective choice in the long term.
