Ductal - ultra-high performance material with ductility: the technology, material properties and examples
Ductal is a new material technology offering a unique combination of superior characteristics including ductility, strength and durability, while providing highly moldable products with a quality surface. The materials provide compressive strengths up to 30,000 psi and flexural strengths up to 7,200 psi. The material's unique combination of superior properties enable the designer to create thinner sections, longer spans and higher structures that are lighter, more graceful and innovative in geometry and form while providing superior durability and impermeability against corrosion, abrasion and impact. This technology provides opportunities to improve many existing products and manufacture new products that will compete with materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, ceramics and others. This paper presents the material technology, mechanical properties, solutions and the manufacture, installation and assembly for specific example projects including: roof panels and canopies, five-sided boxes and anchor plates. Many economies gained from this new technology are a result of engineering new solutions for old problems. By utilizing the unique combination of superior properties, designs can eliminate passive reinforcing steel and experience reduced global construction costs, formworks, labor and maintenance. Additionally, this relates to benefits such as improved construction safety, speed of construction, usage life and others.
