Industry Insights: Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Advancements and Applications Part 3 of 4: The UHPC Balancing Act: Mix Design, Packing, and Admixtures
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) achieves its strength and durability by replacing coarse aggregates with a tightly engineered blend of fine particles, a binder content above 50% by weight and a low water-to-binder ratio (w/b). These three conditions influence one another, making UHPC mix design a balancing act. -
