Executed projects with UHPC

Take a look at some projects to understand how RDC helped to achieve a valious transition to UHPC in different fields.

Horizon Europe project NATURSEA-PV (2022-2026)

Background: The Horizon Europe project Natursea-PV (Novel Eco-Cementitious Materials and components for competitive, durable and bio-inspired offshore floating PV substructures) funds the research and development of novel materials for substructures oriented to

H2020 project SMARTINCS (2019-2024)

Background: This project is implementing new life-cycle thinking and durability-based approaches to the concept and design of concrete structures, using self-healing concrete, repair mortars and grouts together with key enabling technologies. Part

EMFF project OpenMode (2019-2021)

Background: There are several types of mussel farming systems, of which the most common are the longine (extensive), and the raft (intensive). The last has been traditionally used in Spain due to

H2020 project ReSHEALience (2018-2022)

Background: The durability of concrete structures is particularly difficult to estimate under aggressive environments, where the number and width of the cracks has a significant influence. Project ReSHEALience (Rethinking coastal defence and

H2020 project SELMUS (2016-2017)

Background: After the patent of the UHPC rafts in 2015, RDC required to build full-scale pilots of these floating structures to prove to the farmers their durability and suitability. This shaping strategy

Design of UHPC footbridge

Background: RDC founders have designed the four UHPC footbridges installed in Spain up to date. For spans between 10 and 35 m, the precast element proposed is a truss with contant depth

Design of ultra-thin UHPC stairs

Background: In singular buildings, stairs can be much more than an element connecting two storeys. They can be a piece of art too. This requires a design adapted to the performance of

The RDC UHPC

UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) is an extremely compact and ductile cementitious composite. Its properties make it perfect for applications where durability or maintenance play a significant role, where a lightweight structure is particularly relevant, or where the slenderness or thickness of piece is is important.

UHPC Consulting

RDC works closely with the client to evaluate the technical, economical and environmental viability of replacing its current solution by UHPC. A tailored premix of Formex® is proposed to maximize the competitiveness of the new element.
