Tech Note Overview: Can UHPC be a Sustainable Building Solution?

Presented By: Anthony Ragosta, Metromont Description: UHPC may initially appear more carbon-intensive on a per-unit basis relative to conventional construction materials. However, this simplified analysis overlooks UHPC’s potential to enable more efficient structural designs, reduce material usage, minimize life-cycle maintenance, and extend service life compared to conventional reinforced concrete structures. These benefits are realized at the project level, not just the material level, through an integrated approach that combines structural design with life-cycle environmental impact assessment, commonly known as life-cycle assessment (LCA). In short, when a holistic approach is applied, UHPC has the potential to be both a structurally and environmentally sustainable building solution. This presentation provides an overview of the current draft of the Technote “Can Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Be a Sustainable Building Solution?” and opens the forum for feedback and discussions
