Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)
Apr. 12, 2022
Dr. Maher Tadros is an international authority in the design and technology of girders and precast/prestressed concrete structures. His reputation for engineering innovation is worldwide in academia, civil and structural engineering circles. Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is an emerging class of concrete that has the potential to provide numerous benefits for buildings and transportation structures because of its high tensile and compressive strengths, and exceptional durability. The strength of this material allows for reduced quantities of it to achieve the same structural capacity demands as required of conventional concrete. In this 20 min. presentation Dr. Tadros will provide the fundamentals of UHPC, its ingredients and its basic properties. Product technology of bridge and building products will be highlighted. Impact on the environment will be illustrated. Examples from around the world will be given. These examples will include a bridge being designed in Nebraska and a building under construction in South Dakota. The future of UHPC is exciting for engineers and builders. The small state of Nebraska is playing a big part in advancing its application. Dr. Tadros has built a reputation as an innovator and expert. Best known for developing the NU I-Girder, a system allowing bridges to have longer spans and shallower depths, which was followed by guiding the development of the Florida I Beam (FIB), the California Wide Flange and many other modern I beam shapes. He was also the creator of the inverted tee bridge system for rural short span bridges and the NU-Deck, a patented bridge deck system, allowing for rapid construction and long service life. Dr. Tadros is at the forefront of concrete bridge technology in the United States and around the world. At the 50th Anniversary of the Precast Prestressed Concrete Institute in 2004, Dr. Tadros was named “Industry Titan,” one of the 50 most influential persons in the 50-year history of the precast prestressed concrete industry. In 2017, Dr. Tadros was elected to receive the most prestigious PCI award, the Medal of Honor. As an internationally renowned researcher, he is the author of 18 patents, one book, and more than 250 journal papers. His work has generated numerous awards including the prestigious T.Y. Lin Award (an unprecedented six times), an award jointly given by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, and the Precast/Prestressed concrete Institute. This year, 2022, the sixth T.Y.LIN Award will be given in April at a ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Tadros has been recognized by NSPE as Engineer of the Year, and by ACI with the Tome Reading Achievement Award. Dr. Tadros has been an outstanding educator, mentoring and inspiring his students. He has received numerous teaching awards, including the Distinguished Educator Award by Prestressed Concrete Institute in 1995. His service activities are extensive. They include being president of the Nebraska Chapters of the American Concrete Institute and the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a member of numerous national technical committees. He has been recognized by ASCE with the Outstanding Service Award. |
