INTRODUCTION
LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious composite material composed of an optimized gradation of granular constituents, with an ultra-low water-cement content, and a high percentage of discontinuous internal fiber reinforcement. UHPC is densely packed using micro and sometime nano size material ingredients, which imparts UHPC its two signature properties – ultra-high mechanical and ultra-high durability. The result is structural sections that are over 50 percent lighter than concrete sections, negligible reinforcement, and a service life that is devoid of any structural maintenance or repair.
The material finds applications ranging from bridge and building structural elements to protective overlays on bridge decks, industrial slabs, building facades, mechanical device bedding and foundations, interior panels, tiles, outdoor furniture, and blast resistant structures amongst others.
When we think GREEN and SUSTAINABILITY, UHPC stands out above and beyond its peers – both concrete and steel. UHPC has positioned itself strategically between Concrete and Structural Steel and has the ability to not only be used independently but also a a composite with both these materials.
We are planning to have series of discussions on the important subject. In the initial talk, we will attempt to cover introduction of UHPC (Material, Design and Application).
In the upcoming live technical discussion, Dr. Satish Jain will join us for interesting discussion related to UHPC.
In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic which may be addressed during the session.
The event is sponsored by Sanghi Cement. For inquiries related to sponsoring the events may be sent to email address: sponsor@sqveconsultants.com
