Abstract:
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) continues to attract more researchers, engineers, architects, students and experts across disciplines due to its fascinating material properties.
Although it is known that UHPC has excellent mechanical and durability properties, its effect on the sustainability of structures using UHPC technology in part or fully is often not quantifiable, yet. The development of mixture designs with lower carbon footprint is an exciting direction to further affect the sustainability impact of the material on our structures. In addition, the UHPC material properties offers to construct and maintain in a much more environmentally friendly way. The quantification is challenging and might remain challenging in the upcoming years. Research emphasizing life cycle analysis is under way to close part of the knowledge cap.
