Abstract:In recent years, several vendors have developed ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC) that surpasses traditional concrete mixes by offering
exceptional freeze-thaw resistance, reduced susceptibility to cracking
and far less reinforcement corrosion from deicing salts. While the
durability properties of UHPC are very attractive to MDOT, UHPC mixes
are currently prohibitively expensive for widespread use and require
specialized equipment and curing practices. The department’s research
to develop a less-expensive, non-proprietary version of UHPC is showing
promise.
