Abstract:
Architectural UHPC is a sustainable and structural building material that is growing in popularity and availability. For over three decades architectural applications for this unique class of concrete have benefitted from the high tensile strength, durability and toughness of this innovative product provides. This presentation will review many of the standard architectural UHPC applications including facade panels, balconies, stairs, rain screens, and as components of curtain wall systems. It will also highlight lessons learned from the field in regard to finishes and installation to advance the state of the art and promote innovation.
