The composition combines the best features of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) and high-performance concrete (HPC).
The cost of UHPFRC developed at IIT-H is about two times cheaper than commercially available proprietary products.
UHPFRC developed at IIT-H for pre-stressing applications yields a cube compressive strength of 150 MPa and a direct tensile strength of 8.0 MPa.
The aim is to develop affordable ultra-high-performance concrete using locally available materials and do a thorough material categorization to understand the behaviour of UHPFRC in compression, tension, fracture, and direct shear.
