Review of First Structural Applications of UHPC in Colombia

: Although ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a relatively new material in Colombia, commercially available since approximately 2016, several interesting structural applications have been developed. Among them, two pedestrian bridges, the first is at the EAFIT University in the city of Medellín (2017) and the second at the National University in the city of Manizales (2018), building slab reinforcement for special equipment assembly (2017) and sections of ultra-thin pavement overlays (2017 and 2018). This paper gives an account of these applications, their designs, material and construction processes.
