Ultra-high performance concrete is widely used in the construction industry to make strong structures with high compressive strength. It is a type of concrete, which has the compressive strength of more than 150 megapascals (MPa). It comes with required toughness, tensile ductility, and specified durability. To achieve these requirements, fiber is used in the mixture. Due to the low price of ultra-high performance concrete, it is preferred over conventional concrete coatings. In ultra-high performance concrete, water to binder ratio is generally less than 0.25.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
Ultra-high performance concrete is an advanced type of cement with features such as excellent durability and high strength. It is used so that sustainability of the structure or a building and other infrastructure components can be improved. Ultra-high performance concrete is used in different application such as repair & rehabilitation, architectural features, bridges, and building components. It is also used in hydraulic structures, offshore structures, and in windmill towers. Among these applications, ultra-high performance concrete is most commonly used for the construction of bridges and roads. Many countries, such as New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, South Korea, and the U.S., make use of ultra-high performance concrete for construction of bridges and roads.Â
Ultra-high performance concrete is also referred as reactive powder concrete. Ultra-high performance concrete is formed by the combination of water, high-range eater reducers, fine sand, quartz flour, limestone flour, reactive powders, and supplementary materials. These materials are combined so that the ultra-high performance concrete of high compressive strength up to 200 Mpa can be formed. Fine materials in the concrete provides smooth and dense surface for the aesthetics of the concrete, and these fine materials can be transformed to attain more hardness.
Different types of fibers are used for the production of ultra-high performance concrete. The types of fibers used are carbon, glass, PVA, high carbon steel or the combination of all these types of fibers. These materials are ductile in nature and are widely used to make high-performance concrete. These materials have the ability to deform as well as to support loads, even if there are initial cracks in the structure.Â
The ultra-high performance concrete is also used in structures, which are built in marine areas. The reinforced concrete structure in marine areas faces the problem of chloride induced corrosion. The use of ultra-high performance concrete has proved to be an effective solution due to high durability, which protects the structure against chloride corrosion. Most of the bridges, which are built on the sea, consist of ultra-high performance concrete. Therefore, less maintenance is required while these bridges are light in weight. The demand for ultra-high performance concrete is expected to rise during the forecast period as it can be used in various applications. The strength of ultra-high performance concrete is much higher than conventional concrete. Therefore, many companies prefer it over other types of concrete, which is a key driving factor for the growth of the ultra-high performance concrete market.Â
