Material Efficiency in the Design of UHPC Paste
Abstract
High material costs and sustainability concerns due to the use of a larger amount of cement in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has held back its wide spread practical application in the first place. In this research material efficient design of UHPC paste has been assessed. The proposed material efficiency parameter takes into consideration the influence of workability, compressive strength, cost and environmental impact. The global warming potential (GWP) is selected to represent the environmental impact.
Keywords: sustainability, efficiency
