ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS AND BUILDING

Satander Kumar

Abstract: Since a large amount of construction materials is required for the construction of roads and building , there should be a target of efforts to find use for byproducts like fly ash, slag, silica fume etc (also known as mineral admixtures as these are obtained from mines) in the construction of roads and structures. All these mineral admixtures are being utilized in making ultra high performance concrete of very strength. The main reason of opting for such materials is saving in huge cost, using potential energy hide in these material, solve their disposal problem, accomplishment of good fertile soil, make environment clean and green due to GHG reduction in air, saving in natural/virgin material, light weight structure, less dead load on foundation sub-soil, faster in construction, less transportation cost is minimum use of imported diesel/petrol etc. The paper deals with such innovative material and their latest Indian codes
