“…Haneda Airport Runway D expansion, which started in July 2007, was a most impressive realization created over the sea to increase airport runway capacity. UHPC pre-stressed slab was assembled by post-tensioning in a perpendicular direction, supported by a metallic structure [63]. Walraven [64] and Resplendino [65] claimed that the bridge is an instance of a significant reduction in structure weight and increased sustainability with respect to environmental destruction.…”

Research is in progress on the applications of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as a new additive material in construction technology. Over the last twenty years’ significant improvements have been achieved in mechanical properties of UHPC, such as its strength, workability, and ductility, with further improvements made in self-placing properties, higher density, and durability compared with normal concrete. One of the biggest advantages offered by ultra-high performance concrete over normal concrete is the possibility to minimize the cross-sectional dimensions of the structural elements. UHPC can be used to provide significant long-span members, whilst also showing less variation, creep, and drying shrinkage compared to conventional concrete. After many years of development and research into UHPC’s properties, it is being used in commercial applications to meet the rising demand for quality constructions. Many projects in the world started using UHPC for different construction objectives such as long spans, columns, jacketing, rain-screen cladding systems, panel systems, façades, etc. Furthermore, there are not enough sources in the literature describing mixture design, preparation, and curing. This research gives an overview of the uses of UHPC in structural and architectural applications.

“…UHPC gave the architects the flexibility to realize their desire to design such a free-flowing form. To clarify the satisfactory behavior of the twenty-four UHPC canopies, each 20mm in thickness and supported by a single UHPC column, full-scale tests were conducted prior to their installation [63].…”

“…The spraying method is not yet implemented in practice. [2] [3] The most common use is in bridge construction, where UHPFRC is used both for the main loadbearing parts of the structures and for the non-load-bearing elements of the bridge equipment. The unique properties of UHPFRC are advantageously used on these structures, i.e.…”

The aim of the research works is the development of ultra-high-performance fiber concrete (UHPFRC) for architectual purposes, such as facade panels and their accessories. Research is aimed at achieving high utility properties in the form of high flexural tensile strength, low absorption and very good durability of the developed UHPFRC. The research is also focused on the development of the production technology itself, by pouring and spraying fresh UHPFRC mixtures into molds. The development of cast UHPFRC is also focused on the design and optimization of the production technology, which will enable an automatic production process and reduce costs for the production of flat facade panels. The development of sprayed UHPFRC will make it possible to produce 3D elements with higher utility properties compared to currently produced products from ordinary fiberglass concrete (GFRC).

“…Ultra-high performance concrete (UPHC) represents a group of cement-based materials that achieves compressive strength exceeding 150 MPa [4][5][6]. The ultrahigh strength of UHPC can effectively reduce the size of structural members and thus lowering the concrete usage, mitigating the environmental impact [7,8] and also resulting in greater flexibility in architectural design [9]. Nevertheless, UHPC is often associated with increased brittleness and reduced cracking resistance.…”
