High-Performance Concrete for Thin-Walled Members

Article Preview

Abstract:

The new production method for mixing and placing of high-performance concrete for thin-walled members has been transferred from laboratory to manufacturing plant and applied on real-scale elements. Planar and spatial precast elements were produced. The new technology is applicable in both building and transportation structures (panels for horizontal and vertical load-bearing structures, bridge elements, leave-in-place formwork, foundation slabs, street furniture). The material used enables significant reduction of thickness of the elements. This leads to lower weight, easier transportation and handling on the construction site, which decreases transportation and assembling costs. Further savings are possible thanks to minimized number of reinforcement bars. High durability of structures is guaranteed by the use of high-performance concrete, leading to reduced life cycle costs.
