Exploring Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)

The chapter delves into the concept of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and its unique characteristics, highlighting its high strength, durability, and distinct composition with fibers. It discusses the differences from traditional concrete, focusing on superior qualities like compressive strength, post-cracking tensile strength, and durability in harsh environments. The chapter also covers the reinforcement aspects, codes governing UHPC, the importance of local materials, challenges in cast-in-place construction, curing methods, and the significance of low water-cement ratio.
