Applications of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
The fine granulometry and, as a consequence, its high fluidity, facilitates the production of customised modular parts.
Bio Concrete
A material similar to the calcium carbonate of coral reefs, from the photosynthetic cementation of microalgae.
Ultra high strength concrete
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is making inroads in the construction industry, due to its increased sustainability and energy efficiency. But what exactly is it and how is it produced? In essence, concrete is a mixture of aggregates of different sizes with cement as a binder. The keys to producing UHPC lie in the careful selection of high-quality raw materials, the exact proportioning of its components and a careful mixing process. Therefore, larger aggregates are removed and fine silica particles are incorporated, which act as an additional binding agent. This combination, together with the use of high-performance cements, contributes significantly [...]
Polished steel sheets in architecture and construction
Different treatments create different decorative textures, such as rippling, and produce different visual effects.
