Development of Non-Proprietary UHPC Mix with Utah Materials

The primary objective of this research project is to develop a performance specification for Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) specific to materials found locally in Utah. The effort will include establishing material requirements, parameters for mix acceptance, field quality control and acceptance testing, equipment needs for batching, placing, and testing, as well as minimum qualifications and training needed for implementation. A secondary objective of this research project is to determine the cost analysis of the non-proprietary, locally sourced UHPC, as compared to commercially available materials.
