Evaluation of UHPFRC activation energy using empirical models

Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Hamid Sadouki, Aicha Kamen

The influence of thermal curing on the evolution of the material properties and the UHPFRC behaviour was investigated. Tests results showed a beneficial effect of a high temperature curing on the early age material properties due to the thermo-activation e ...
