UHPC - Concrete - Steel Dimensional comparison

Measurements on the standard concrete structure are in
centimeters, meters, inches, feet and yards. 

Measurements in steel construction are made in
millimeters, inches, feet and yards.

Measurements in mechanical engineering are
made in millimeters, tenths and hundredths of
a millimeter.

Today UHPC construction and mechanical elements can be manufacture and polished so precisely that they can be measured with a tolerance of tenths or sometimes hundreds of a millimeter.

In the near future we will leave standard concrete behind and
make steel competition in a many industrial application
areas for machinery and construction parts. 

As a construction material, UHPC has an enormous number of advantages when compared to standard steel grades and their often complex processing. UHPC as we understand and produce it can be used as a construction material, sealing material and adhesive of high quality.

Final storage of radioactive substances in special UHPC concrete container or strong rooms

One way to encapsulate such substances more

safely and cost-effectively than is currently

practiced is to pour into UHPC Ultra High

Performance Concrete blocks. UHPC has a

large number of advantages over the previous

storage in barrels of different material quality

and pouring into glass.

The advantages of new designs are:

 - UHPC is very easy to process as a casting

    and spraying compound.

 - UHPC has an extremely high pressure

    resistance compared to all standard concretes

 - UHPC is completely waterproof

 - What is poured into UHPC can not corrode

    anymore

 - UHPC is saltwater resistant
 - UHPC also hardens under water

 - UHPC in its high temperature version can

   be used at continuous temperatures up to

   1200°C/ 2192°F. This means that the

   UHPC HT (High Temperature) block is

   stable with internal temperature increase

   as well as with external fire.

   A secure above-ground storage against

   theft is possible because the blocks are heavy,

   large and therefore unwieldy for a quick

   removal. Getting the radioactive material out

   of the block is only possible with extreme

   effort and tools and time.

 - UHPC is based on nanotechnology, the material 

   particles are extremely fine. Almost allother

   particles are surrounded by this glue from

   extremely fine particles. Even with a break of a 

   UHPC block, the foreign matter is firmly trapped

   in the debris.

- It is easy to mix radiation-reducing materials into

   the block

-  UHPC concretes can be very good heat-insulating 

   or very good heat-conducting. It's just a question 

   of the UHPC concrete mixture

The advantages of sealing existing deposits are

• UHPC casting compounds can have a very high                       flowability and easily penetrate into cracks and                          joints and seal them.
• UHPC casting compounds are self-compacting.
• All casting compounds are pumpable and sprayable
• All casting compounds reach more than 70%                            after 48 hours

UHPC Doors and gate constructions

Doors and gates to buildings have been constructed
of wood all over the world for hundreds of years. A
material that was available everywhere. There were
simple doors and gates and there were incredibly
beautiful, filigree doors and gates. There were also
doors and gates that were used exclusively for
military security and where design was absolutely
irrelevant.

Today, doors and gates in architecture are made of
light metal or plastic. In industry and in security
areas, for example, doors and gates must be fireproof,
watertight, burglar-proof, explosion-proof, etc.

The list of requirements is long

Up to now, concrete as a material for doors and gates
was only possible for safe constructions, as concrete
constructions are very heavy.
With UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete, the
possible uses changed completely.

UHPC material
 - achieves very high strengths
 - can be produced in relatively thin layers

 - is absolutely waterproof
 - is salt water resistant
 - is highly wear-resistant
 - can reach temperatures up to max. Withstand 1200°C
 - can withstand high blast pressures
 - is used in ballistics
 - can be shaped very precisely
 - can be easily combined with wood, metal, minerals and glass
 - is nanotechnology, the finest surface structures can be produced

 - enables the production of very small, fine concrete elements
 - enables large door geometries weighing several tons can be colored easily
 - is processed in a similar way to standard concrete
