Ultra-High Performance Concrete 1st Edition

Discover Ultra-High Performance Concrete 1st Edition by Caijun Shi, Zemei Wu, and Nemkumar Banthia — an authoritative, practice-focused resource for engineers, researchers, architects, and contractors seeking to harness the extraordinary potential of UHPC.

This book opens with clear explanations of the material science behind ultra-high performance concrete, then moves to practical topics: mix design strategies, reinforcement and fiber systems, mechanical properties, durability under harsh climates, and standardized testing methods. Rich case studies illustrate real-world applications—from long-span bridges and high-rise façade panels to coastal and cold-region infrastructure—showing how UHPC extends service life and reduces maintenance costs in diverse geographic settings.

Engineers will appreciate the balanced presentation of laboratory findings and field performance, plus guidance on design considerations, constructability, and reliable quality control. Researchers will find in-depth discussions of microstructure, fracture mechanics, and advanced characterization techniques that support innovation. Throughout, the authors emphasize sustainability and lifecycle benefits, helping decision-makers evaluate cost-effectiveness for projects across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Written in a clear, professional style and backed by leading experts, this edition is an essential reference for anyone serious about next-generation concrete solutions. Whether you’re specifying materials for a coastal viaduct, retrofitting urban infrastructure, or developing new precast systems, Ultra-High Performance Concrete 1st Edition provides the technical insight and practical direction needed to design with confidence.
