The Next Generation of UHPC

Second International Interactive Symposium on UHPC, 2019
In the 1980s, the laboratories of AALBORG PORTLAND A/S, in Denmark, conducted pioneering research to develop very dense cement-based binder-matrices, in order to fully exploit the performance of concrete. These efforts based on the AALBORG WHITE®Portlandcement resulted in the first ever patented ultra-high performance steel fiber ...

Comparative Study on Shear Reinforcement Performance of Prestressed Concrete Hollow Slab Beams in Existing Highways

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Insufficient shear resistance exists at the supports of old prestressed hollow slab beams in expressway reconstruction and expansion. Three full‐scale reinforcement tests show the combined stiffening ring hoop ranks best with a 25.8% increase, followed by diagonal reinforcement at 19.9% and vertical reinforcement at 15%, each suitable for different ...

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 7048-7065, October 2026.
Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

Leveraging the Amorphous Nature of Sn–P Alloys for Improved Stability and Energy Density in Na‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 31, 19 August 2026.
Amorphous SnP3 undergoes homogeneous solid‐solution sodiation, delivering exceptional cycling stability and volumetric capacity. In contrast, crystalline Sn4P3 phase‐separates into Na‐Sn and Na‐P domains, causing rapid capacity decay and severe pulverization.

Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Optimization of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Intragranular Fracture and Compression Behavior

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4764-4779, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.
