UHPFRC: Rehabilitation and Performance
This lecture discusses the rehabilitation strategy of Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) for bridges, focusing on performance, laboratory tests, geographical locations, construction joints, composition, air permeability testing, cost analysis, and owner's perspective. The use of UHPFRC without waterproofing membrane, protective functions, widening of bridges, prefabricated UHPFRC kerbs, and overlays is highlighted. The lecture also covers in-situ air permeability testing, cost analysis comparing different alternatives, and the advantages of using UHPFRC from the owner's point of view.
