Project Background:
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), has achieved a great leap in the performance of engineering materials, with ultra-high strength, low brittleness and excellent durability, which can effectively compensate for many shortcomings of ordinary concrete. However, UHPC is usually reinforced and toughened by adding steel fiber or polymer fiber, resulting in poor fluidity, high viscosity, high cost of the mixture, which greatly limits its application in multiple scenarios. Develop a new type of polycarboxylate superplasticizer with ultra-high water reduction rate to reduce the water-binder ratio and obtain the good workability and ultra-high strength of UHPC.

Aims & Goals:
1. To synthesize new type polyoxyethylene ether monomer and ultra-highly dispersing water reducer;
2. To prepare UHPC concrete material with ultra-highly dispersing water reducer, and elaborate the mechanism of achieving high dispersion in ultra-low w/c ratio systems;
3. To realize the reduction of cement dosage, w/c ratio, durability, carbon emission and cost in C30~C50 concrete through the different dosages of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers.
 
Outcomes: 
1. Deveoled an ultra-highly dispersible water reducing agent using ethylene oxide as raw material, which can reduce the amount of cement and water by 20% and 25% in C30 to C50 concrete.
2. Exploring the possibility of replacing steel fibers with non-metallic fibers (PE and PP) in UHPC.
