To Monitoring the Degradation of UHPC Boards with Textiles Armatures

Abstract:

In this article the hot water test is presented on thin UHPC slabs that are reinforced by a new type of armature. It is a textile armature, which should replace the classic metal (steel) armature. Textile armature should not only reduce the cost of production, but, because it is not susceptible to corrosion as conventional steel armature, panels can be designed with significantly less cover thickness in achieving similar or longer lifetime of these elements. The combination of UHPC concrete with a minimum thickness of cover and textile armature allows design elements weighing up to 70 % lower compared to conventional concrete elements with conventional armature. This can achieve significant savings and benefits not only in economic aspects, but also in environmental aspects.
