UHPC Concrete (ultra high performance concrete)
UHPC Concrete, when densely packed particles meet with low water and fiber content. That’s why a superb material named Ultra High Performance Concrete emerges.
Stronger material means thinner panels and longer lifespan. Meanwhile uhpc is A1 class incombustible.
Ultra High Performance:
UHPC consists of carefully selected natural raw materials. And it is packed in a very specific and harmonious manner. Thus, creates an innovative material with exceptional compressive and flexural strength. It contains very low water absorption and a very long lifespan. Its class A1 incombustibility, UHPC offers high thermal qualities and temperature stability.
With superior abrasion resistance and dimensional stability, Ultra High Performance Concrete is highly resistant to weather and thermal factors. Along with its high physical impact resistance, it offers an excellent flexural strength to withstand high wind loads.
Its excellent mechanical features makes it possible to produce light panels. Panels can be as thin as 10 mm with superior surface quality. Textures and colors are customizable. Panels only lose 1 mm in thickness in 60 years.
The term UHPC means:
-Ultra High Strength Concrete with a compressive strength of over 100 MPa.
-Low water/binder ratio.
-Optimized particle packing with a special selection of fine and ultra fine particles, low porosity and high durability.
UHPC CONCRETE: THE TECHNOLOGY OF TOMORROW
UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) is one of the new generation concrete types. Ultra High Performance Concrete, is the result of the combination of concrete and technological developments. Surely that explains why it is also called architectural concrete.
This material allows the application of an original design on the façade. Less weight is applied to the facades of the buildings, and earthquake-safe structures are created.
UHPC Usage Areas
The areas of use of UHPC were initially on bridges and highways thanks to its resistance to high pressure. Also it has been used on facades in recent years. However, their use on facades has already surpassed other areas of use. Panels designed as a modular system bring security and durability as well as ease of application.
INSTALLATION TYPES
Unlike traditional grc (precast) methods, it is usually produced as a premix. FIBERTON A.Ş., which uses fasteners with proven durability and quality in international projects, also provides support in assembly with its own fastener designs. Possible assembly elements may be useed, for instance, rivets, screws or undercuts.
UHPC Concrete Production
It is produced by spray or premix method. However, the premix method is highly preferred. Special mixture used in premix production. Therefore, as a result that brings the concrete settle on its own and takes the shape of the mold. Post-production curing processes are carried out. After, the panels come out of the mold, surface treatments are applied.
While determining the quality standards of the products, support is obtained from PCI and other internationally published articles, and current developments are followed. Surface treated panels are placed in special transport boxes. Thus, it is protected from weather conditions or possible impacts at the construction site.
UHPC Concrete Advantages
Thanks to its resistance to high pressure, UHPC concrete has a long life in structures. It can be produced in the desired texture and can be produced in standard or special (modular systems where larger motifs can be created) sizes. Due to the standard dimensions, it can be produced independently of the progress of the project. It can be stocked, specifically saving time.
UHPC Concrete Design Freedom
Pushes the limits of the imagination of architects in design. Concrete elements, in which Reckli molds can be used. In order words, you have a rich portfolio in terms of design. Visually satisfactory results emerge with 3D designs that can be applied to concrete panels.
