Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Technical Information and Resources

Ultra-High Performance Concrete is still a relatively new concrete technology, but it is quickly gaining favor among federal and state governments. In an effort to help contractors, builders, developers, and others in the concrete industry gain a better understanding of UHPC, we have compiled a list of resources for easy reference.

General Overview & Usage Information

Ultra-High Performance Concrete – A document providing an in-depth look at UHPC, including how it is made, mixed, and is used.
