UHPFRC composite joints
Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is a cementitious high-performance material which, through an optimized grain structure and added steel fibers, achieves a compressive strength in excess of 150 MPa and a tensile strength of approx. 8 MPa. The crack-bridging effect of the micro-steel fibers added (the so-called fiber effectiveness) results in a very fine crack distribution pattern at very narrow crack widths and thus excellent durability. The material’s properties make it eminently suitable for use in highly stressed, permanent and slender structures such as bridges or...
