Recycling of UHPC concrete compared to standard concrete

Our UHPC concretes are far superior to standard concretes in all technical properties and actually
make them a competitive material for steel. Also in this comparison, UHPC concretes have advantages such as corrosion resistance and temperature resistance, etc.

UHPC concrete constructions achieve a multiple service life of standard concrete in comparable constructions. This means standard concrete structures are demolished much faster and the debris has to be recycled. The demolition material is used as gravel. It is currently trying to recycle this demolition material as a building material.

In addition to a longer service life compared to standard concrete, UHPC also has many advantages here.

1. UHPC concrete has a very high compressive strength which is similar or better to many standard aggregates of standard concrete.

2. UHPC concrete granules have no to extremely low porosity. Thus, UHPC Granules does not absorb very little water.

4. UHPC concrete granules are corrosion and seawater resistant. UHPC concrete granules can be easily processed with standard concrete or UHPC concrete.

6. At the moment we are working on trying to prepare standard concrete material granulate, so that it can be used as a fine aggregate for some UHPC grades.

7. We also plan to use recycled UHPC high temperature material. It could very well be used as aggregate for UHPC HT or for refractory materials.
