ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE (UHPC)

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a versatile, high-strength, fibre-reinforced cement composite material, offering an impressive 100 to 150 MPa compressive strength.

For structural applications, the fibres in UHPC enable the material to transfer 8 to 9 MPa of tension and substantial shear without any traditional reinforcement. It is twice as stiff as conventional concrete, and is impermeable to water, chloride and oxygen, making its durability almost infinite.

The extremely dense matrix of UHPC, obtained from fine and ultra-fine particles, provides not only excellent structural properties but also the ability to achieve all sorts of textures and finishes. The architectural possibilities are excellent.
