Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) continues to impact the construction industry and its practical use is exponentially increasing. While significant effort in the past has been placed on material and structural research, as well as designing guidelines to effectively using the material in various structural and non-structural applications, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of the material properties are equally important. Due to the higher sensibility of the material properties in comparison to other cementitious composites, QA/QC towards various material properties needs to be tailored to this material. This session will invite national and international research groups, material suppliers and contractors to share case their experiences and knowledge in the field of UHPC QA/QC.

The contents of this course include 3 recorded presentations from the ACI 2024 Fall Convention:
• UHPC Workability for Successful Construction; Jiong Hu, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
• Air Voids on UHPC Overlay Surfaces – A Common Quality Problem in Need of a Solution; Michael McDonagh, WSP USA
• QA / QC Procedures for Large Scale UHPC Overlay Projects; Gregory Nault, Holcim US

1. Discuss experiences with UHPC QA/QC.
2. Recognize the innovation potential in this field.
3. List new procedures and developments when UHPC is used.
4. Analyze the impact of good QA / QC on the UHPC building solution.
