An Introduction to a Practical UHPC Manufacturing in South Africa

Increasing the aggregate size and content while using locally available materials

In the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Pretoria UHPC is manufactured with a compressive strength of 180 MPa retaining the superior properties of UHPC while reducing the costs. In order to achieve this, several modifications to the typical mix design for UHPC were taken into consideration. The high compressive strength can be attributed to both optimum packing density as well as the low water to cement ratio (w/c).
