Abstract:

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an emerging material technology in which concrete develops very high compressive strengths and exhibits improved tensile strength and toughness. In Phase I of this research project, a comprehensive literature and historical application review was completed to determine the characteristics and properties of UHPC currently being used in design applications. Trial designs and cost analyses on typical prestressed concrete bridges using UHPC were conducted and used to investigate the merits and feasibility of UHPC in prestressed concrete design in New Mexico. Based on the positive outcome of the feasibility study, UHPC mixture proportions using materials local to New Mexico were developed as Phase II of this research.
