The structure and design is acting as a experimental project to explore the possibilities of ultra high performance concrete and to fully test the potential of this relatively new material. The difference between UHPC is it consists of a very high density mix which obtains its tensile strength from either organic or steel fibres. I have a particular interest in UHPC because it may become a large part of my project 1 for research and design in the built environment project. It provides a viable solution for creating a more predictable final cost for construction projects through reducing the amount of steel used in the structure.
