Abstract

Over the last twenty years, there has been an extensive attention in using Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in the buildings and infrastructures construction. Due to that, defining comprehensive mechanical properties and excellent durability of UHPC required to design structural members is worthwhile. It has shown great potential for the next generation infrastructure construction from the sustainability point of view. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced construction material that affords new opportunities for the future of the very special structures. This paper presents the state of the art in UHPC with regard to uses in major projects as Highway Bridge, tall building, bomb and nuclear building resistance and pavements. Compiled from hundreds of references representing research, development, and deployment efforts around the world, this report provides a framework for gaining a deeper understanding of UHPC. This article review will assist stakeholders, including many departments as State transportation departments, Army engineer researcher and multinternational companies for construction and design consultants, to grasp the capabilities of UHPC and thus use the material to address pressing needs in different major constructions. Therefore, the uses of UHPC are growing all over the world, in both fields of new construction and retrofitting. So, some application prospects of UHPC are briefly introduced in the paper, and the efforts, which have to be made to turn UHPC into a widespread ‘regular' technology, are discussed. This paper aims to help designers, engineers, architects and infrastructure owners to know the capacities of UHPC and thus to increase the applications of this material. The main objective of this to enhance the capability of the business sector to innovate by focusing on long-term research base papered on forging close alliances between research-intensive enterprises and prominent research groups. The corporate partners are leading multinational companies in the cement and building industry and this paper aims to increase their value creation and strengthen their research activities. In addition, the paper addresses what needed to allow future with wider implementation of UHPC.
