UHPFRC DEVELOPMENT MATERIAL PROPERTY CHARACTERIZATION AND STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS

Sudarshan N.M, T. Chandrsekhar Rao

Abstract: UHPFRC (Ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete) is new generation concrete with excellent mechanical, durability properties better resistance in failure of the structure porosity, lower Shrinkage and creep properties. The matrix material is designed, discretely sized optimal particles densely packed to achieve higher tensile and compressive strengths. This paper presents Historical development in fibre reinforced concrete to present day, the UHPFRC exhibits material characterization of UHPFRC curing methodology at elevated temperature. affects on the strength of the concrete various Commercial market products usage in architectural design and commercial structural applications.

Keywords: UHPFRC, Cement, Microsilica, Sand, Quartz Sand, Steel Fibre, Super Plasticizer, Water Cement Ratio.
