Architectural Use of Precast Ultra High Performance Concrete
M. Vijai Kishore, Harinder Yadav, Achal Garg
Abstract :
As a material on the leading edge of concrete innovation, ultra–high performance concrete (UHPC) provides a new technology to expand a pre–caster’s business with new products and solutions. The material’s combination of superior properties facilitates the ability to design thin, multiplex shapes, curvatures and highly customized textures – applications which are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional reinforced concrete elements. Due to UHPC’s plastic and hardened properties, plus the elimination of rebar, pre–casters can achieve complex shapes that are extremely durable and cost effective, and require little preservation. The material re–produces textures, form and shape with high precision and can be produced in a range of enduring colors. With UHPC, pre–casters can offer new, innovative building envelope solutions for creative architects; for example: structural, decorative perforated facades in mesh or latticestyle designs; ultra–thin, lightweight panels with large surface areas and perforation rates that exceed 50%; and full facades with composite shapes, curvatures and textures.
