High Bond Steel Fibers for Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC)

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious material that is rapidly going mainstream for use in bridges in the United States and Canada. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is poised to sharply accelerate usage of UHPC in the U.S.

The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's NCHRP IDEA Final Report for Project 235: High Bond Steel Fibers for Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) develops a novel type of steel fiber to reinforce UHPC and demonstrates its use in a recently built bridge in Michigan.
