1. Definition of UHPC (UHPFRC)
• SETRA Guide Specifications
– f’c > 150 MPa (22 ksi)
– Use fiber to ensure ductile
behavior and reduce or
eliminate the need for passive
shear reinforcement
– Have a high binder content and
a special selection of
aggregates
• Example Products
– BSI by Eiffage
– Cemtec by LCPC
– Densit by Aalborg Portland
– Ductal by Lafarge
