Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Theory, Experiments, and Applications presents a comprehensive exploration of over a dozen groundbreaking bridge structures and engineering applications developed by the author's team utilizing UHPC. As the emerging bridge structure crafted with UHPC possesses the potential to make significant strides toward achieving the objectives of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, as well as sustainable development, it is of paramount importance to consider the recent studies that indicate the application of UHPC is anticipated to significantly decrease the quantity of materials and carbon emissions, while also extending the lifespan of the structure.

For instance, upon conducting calculations, it is observed that when UHPC is applied to arch bridges characterized by compression as the primary stress characteristic, the dead weight of the UHPC arch bridge remains essentially the same as that of the steel arch bridge. However, the cost and carbon emission associated with the UHPC arch bridge are only 34% and 20% of the latter, respectively.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) emerges as a cutting-edge civil structural material characterized by remarkable strength, toughness, and durability. Through collaborative innovation involving the development of new materials and innovative structural designs, the application of UHPC in bridge engineering is poised to realize the overarching goal of achieving economic efficiency, environmental sustainability, long-lasting durability, and exceptional performance for the primary structure.
