ULTRA HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE (UHPFRC / UHPC / UHPC)

Ultra-High-Performance Reinforced Fibre Concrete (UHPFRC/UHPC) is a type of concrete that is characterized by its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. It is typically made by combining a high-strength cementitious binder, such as Portland cement, with a fine aggregate, such as silica fume, and a high concentration of fibers, usually steel or polymer fibers.

UHPFRC/UHPC typically has a compressive strength of at least 130 MPa to maximum up to 250Mpa, which is significantly higher than that of conventional concrete. Its high strength and durability make it suitable for a variety of structural applications.

Overall, UHPFRC/UHPC is a high-performance material that offers numerous benefits over conventional concrete and has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry.

01. Exceptional strength : Thanks to its compressive strength ranging from 130 MPa to 250 MPa, the UHPFRC/UHPC makes it possible to achieve reinforcements of small dimensions and limited weight.

02. Post-crack tensile strength : It makes it possible to dispense with the traditional secondary reinforcement

03. Resistance to penetration : Protects facings from the penetration of water or chlorides

04. Resistance to external aggression : Resists shocks and impacts, in particular a high resistance to hydraulic abrasion

05. High durability : Does not corrode. Limits maintenance costs

06. Flexibility of implementation : Cast in place, prefabricated, or wet sprayed
