Second View of H-Piling Finish

This close-up shows the solid consistency of Cor-Tuf UHPC, making the beam impermeable to moisture. While the fine-grained nature of the mix allows for a variety of finishing and decorative possibilities, Cor-Tuf has 10 times the compressive strength of traditional concrete. A variety of mix techniques can result in 50,000 psi or higher.

What Makes UHPC Ultra-High Performance

UHPC achieves its superior performance through a dense nano-scale matrix that is far less permeable than conventional concrete. This matrix is combined with steel fiber reinforcement, which provides exceptional ductility and crack resistance.

Though exact formulations and results vary by producer, UHPC generally incorporates a blend of Portland cement, sand, supplementary cementitious materials, chemical admixtures, and fibers – resulting in a material dramatically stronger, tougher, and longer lasting than traditional concrete.
