Abstract
The practical application of a new high-tech material such as ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) requires the development of appropriate construction technologies. These technologies have to fully utilise the material's advantageous properties. They also have to consider the material's requirements with regard to production accurateness. This paper presents a construction technology for prefabricated thin-walled elements made of UHPFRC. The technology developed by the authors allows for an easy assembly, disassembly and recyclability of the UHPFRC elements, making maximum use of the material's properties. The construction technology uses built-in parts, so called implants, to pointwise connect thin-walled elements and to transfer high connection forces. The paper explains the general design of the implant components as well as their load-bearing behaviour under punctual compression loads.
