The next generation of ultra high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has just been created at EPFL. The new material will be used to strengthen and to extend the life span of bridges and other structures – both new and old. What’s more, the process of manufacturing this material releases 60–70% less CO2 than the previous generation of fiber-reinforced concrete.
