Abstract

Researches and applications of UHPC have been carried out continually since late 1990s in China, especially in bridge engineering. UHPC is used widely in cover plates of cable channels, sidewalk slabs in high-speed railways, pavement on steel bridge decks, anchorage of main cables of suspension bridge, etc. Several trial designs of UHPC bridges have been conducted. Five UHPC bridges have been constructed, including two railway bridges, one highway bridge and two pedestrian bridges in China.

Keywords: China, application, design, construction, bridge, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)
