At a meeting of local councils in the alpine
was the rehabilitation of the massive damage
caused by scree and water masses on the
construction of the riverbanks, especially in
areas of river diversion and river guidance
in villages and towns.
Particularly the rising water masses among
other things by massive lasting rains and
resulting high flow velocities with scree
movements give rise to concern.
As one of the possible solutions for the future,
the use of UHPC Ultra High Performance
Concrete as a refurbishment material and as
construction material for renewed protective
installation was discussed.
UHPC concrete would offer concrete with its
extreme strength (over 140 MPa /20300 psi),
very high wear resistance and extremely high
corrosion resistance. In addition, a joint-free
Due to the many years of experience we have in
offshore and coastal areas, first projects have
been agreed.

UHPC concrete would offer concrete with its

very high wear resistance and extremely high
corrosion resistance. In addition, a joint-free
processing is possible.
Due to these characteristics, the design of river
banks and river diversions with artificial rock
constructions made of UHPC was discussed. 
As assembly methods for UHPC, assembly
pre-fabricated elements, casting or spray-on-site
(Shotcrete) assembly was discussed.
Since UHPC develop within 48 hours 70% of its
nominal strength are very fast in assembly methods
and thus the repair time is very short.
offshore and coastal areas, first projects have
been agreed.

We have made various tests on river bends and bridge foundations in rivers in Switzerland with you material. The results are very good so far. The UHPC surface show no chipping or wear as with the previously used concrte. The stress from the boulders was already considerable last spring.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting information. We have several more similar projects in the coming year. Probably in the spring I will travel in Switzerland and look at the condition of the linings, I have some ideas how we can do it even better.
