Ultra High Performance Concrete Girders

Ultra High Performance Concrete Girders is a good thesis project for Civil Engineering and Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is one of the newer and superior classes of concrete that can be used to develop improved bridges capable of meeting the present and future traffic, environmental, maintenance and economical requirements.

Developing on the superior material characteristics of UHPC, the research discussed here in studies the behavior of UHPC when used as a bridge girder material.


Four optimized girders are solid and studied for varied early age in addition as long run properties like early age shrinkage, transfer length, creep behavior and shrinkage beneath steam treatment. Information has been recorded through vibratory wire gages put in at strategic locations inside every beam before they're solid.

Recommended Project: Aggregate on Self Compacting Concrete of M70 Grade

Whereas the shrinkage and creep ascertained square measure terribly low that is characteristic of UHPC, varied alternative aspects like shrinkage being closely tied to formwork restraint and temperature and therefore the prestress transfer being obsessed with the beam pure mathematics and strand pattern are mentioned.

From the results we will conclude that UHPC could be a promising bridge creating substance and with any analysis may be extensively used for developing bridges.
