Abstract

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is in this paper always considered as a cement composite material made of local constituents and reinforced with high strength steel fibres. Extensive research was carried out in order to understand its behaviour under different loading conditions. Successful tests enabled its application in various structures. Footbridges are structures where UHPC can be successfully applied. The next step of research works was focused on rehabilitation of existing concrete structures. Promising research results led to rehabilitation of a large bridge in Prague using UHPC. The Technical specifications prepared by the Czech Concrete Society will be soon approved by the Ministry of Transport. Then the new applications for Highway and Railway administrations are expected.
