UHPFRC: Science‐driven Material Engineering Can Provide Sustainable Solutions
This chapter argues that the thorough scientific approach can contribute to finding concrete solutions to the problems now facing the construction sector. After reviewing the history of concrete technology, the chapter discusses how the scientific approach has led to unprecedented advances in performance on the principle of trial and‐error, and heuristic exploration. The development and implementation of ultra high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) may be seen as just the beginning of a new era of the truly sustainable development of concrete as a high‐tech bulk material at the forefront of materials science and engineering. It can be fine‐tuned, not only to meet the classical strength, stiffness and durability requirements but also to contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of our concrete consumption. UHPFRC will thus add a new "green concrete value" to the development of our society in terms of both economic growth and social progress.
