In this episode, Bill Kulish from Steelike discusses ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and its applications in bridge construction. UHPC is a composite material with a high binder content and a low water-cement ratio. It has superior compressive strength, tensile properties, and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and chloride penetration. UHPC is commonly used for overlays, preservation, restoration, and repair of bridges. Bill also explains the process of shotcreting UHPC and its potential for structural repairs and hardening. Overall, UHPC offers a durable and sustainable solution for infrastructure projects.   Takeaways Ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a composite material with a high binder content and a low water-cement ratio.
