UHPC Casting In Nunavut
FY 2023-24 · 2023-08-28
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of casting UHPC in extreme cold weather in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut using chemical admixtures instead of hydrocarbons or expensive insulating blankets so construction can advance during the winter season in the Arctic. For this project several innovative tests will be performed to evaluate the properties and performance of cold weather concrete created with chemical admixtures. Cold weather concreting is a key barrier to the practical adoption of UHPC concrete technology in the arctic due to the lack of understanding of the how to optimize concrete mix and mixtures prior to casting UHPC in cold environments.

For this project several innovative tests will be performed to evaluate the properties and performance of cold weather concrete created with chemical admixtures.

Description (French)
L’objectif de cette étude est d’examiner la faisabilité du coulage de BFUP par temps extrêmement froid à Cambridge Bay, au Nunavut, en utilisant des adjuvants chimiques au lieu d’hydrocarbures ou de couvertures isolantes coûteuses, afin que la construction puisse avancer pendant la saison hivernale dans l’Arctique. Dans le cadre de ce projet, plusieurs tests innovants seront réalisés afin d’évaluer les propriétés et les performances du béton par temps froid créé à l’aide d’adjuvants chimiques. Le bétonnage par temps froid est un obstacle majeur à l’adoption pratique de la technologie du béton UHPC dans l’Arctique en raison du manque de compréhension de la manière d’optimiser le mélange de béton et les mélanges avant de couler le béton UHPC dans des environnements froids.
