The introduction of high forces into thin-walled UHPC elements by the use of implants
Given its high compressive strength, its relatively low specific weight and its formability, UHPC (ultra high performance concrete) offers a lot of new possibilities for the building sector. However, in order to make the material competitive for widespread use, structural elements made of UHPC have to be prefabricated. The main objective of using the high performance material UHPC both economically and efficiently is a homogeneous and maximal utilization of the structural elements exposed to compression. The assembly of thin precast UHPC elements to such structures which also need to be high-temperature or fire-resistant requires point connections that lead to the introduction of high local compression forces. The implant developed by the authors introduces a high compression force that serves exactly this purpose; it thus allows utilizing precast elements almost to the compressive strength of UHPC.
