20 Years bridge over la Morge
The first cast on-site application of Strain Hardening Ultra-High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in Switzerland took place for the rehabilitation and widening of the Bridge over the river “La Morge” near the town of Sion in the Swiss Alps in 2004 in the framework of the EU project SAMARIS. An experimental campaign and a detailed visual survey were performed after 19.5 years of exposure to de-icing salts in spring 2024 to characterise chloride penetration in various parts of the bridge and validate the entire surface waterproofing function of the UHPFRC overlay. This is the first time that the performances of cast-on-site UHPFRC without thermal treatment have been investigated over such a long period.See: "Denarié, E., Sofia, L., Rudaz, J., (2024), "Cast-on site UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of existing structures - Feedback over 20 years of exposure to chlorides", AFGC-RILEM-IABSE-fib-ACI Int.

Low carbon PE-UHPFRC
Emmanuel Denarié is at the origin of the development of next generation ultra high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes (UHPFRC) with synthetic UHWM PE fibers, adapted for structural applications (project within SNSF NRP 70 and supervision doctoral thesis Amir Hajiesmaeili - 2019). These new materials dramatically decrease CO2 emissions and Embodied Energy footprints and open a wide field of new opportunities for the rehabilitation of existing structures and construction of new ones.http://p3.snf.ch/project-154063

Note that extreme care has to be taken to avoid the dissemination of synthetic "plastic" fibers in the environment. Norway banned in 2015 discontinuous polymer Macrofibers used in FRC, in road tunnels, see:
