This chapter provides an account of the bridges constructed in Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Next, it talks about columns, and highlights how Korea had the experience of UHPC columns in high‐rise buildings. The potential of UHPC as a construction material for buildings lies primarily in the development of innovative architectural forms and new configurations. Prestressed elements are used to fix the columns to the floor edge beams at the top and the foundation at the bottom, which at the same time increases the bending capacity of the whole column. The chapter further deals with façades, stairs, balconies, and roofs. UHPC is ideal for designing roofs with appealing architectural forms. One of the first applications of UHPC was the shell roofs to Shawnessy Light Rail Transit Station in Calgary, Canada. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the other applications of UHPC.
