Ultra-high Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) for Infrastructure Rehabilitation
The present study aims at developing sustainable concrete materials for infrastructure applications. The main idea is to develop a cost effective and sustainable ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete to be used in concrete infrastructure applications where enhanced durability and extended service life are key. The main emphasis for this concrete is its use focusing on bridge, approach slab and pavement joint detailing and other areas where high durability and ductility demands are required.
