Presentation Title: Advancing Urban Infrastructures Through Innovation in UHPC Technology

Abstract：Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), with its high strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics, is reshaping the future of urban infrastructure. This presentation will focus on how UHPC technology drives urban development through material innovation, and analyze the advantages of UHPC in terms of technological innovation, green environmental protection, and economic benefits through typical case studies. UHPC can significantly extends the lifespan of structures, reduces maintenance costs，and reduce interference with urban operations due to its rapid construction. It combines economy and sustainability, and is expected to become a key engine for the renewal and upgrading of urban infrastructure.
