INVITATION
UHPFRC 2013
2nd
International Symposium on
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete
(UHPFRC)
Designing and Building with UHPFRC:
from innovation to large scale realizations
October 1 - 3 , 2013
MuCEM - Marseille (FRANCE)
ObjectivesObjectivesObjectives
“UHPFRC 2009” international symposium was organized in Marseille (France) under the auspices of fib (international federation of structural concrete) and AFGC, the French Association for Civil Engineering. It helped synthesizing the know-how and applications related to Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Four years later, projects and constructions using UHPFRC have definitively gained a growing importance in Europe and North America, as well as in Australia, Far East, and especially Japan. “UHPFRC 2013” aims at updating and complementing experience gained in the knowledge and use of UHPFRC, based on recent practice of: design of building structures, components, civil works and bridges; industrial realizations (both on site and in precast factories); large-scale applications. Most recent realizations will be presented during the symposium, either in civil engineering, buildings, or consisting of structural equipments, components and civil infrastructures, be it new construction or retrofitting. Technical lessons, scientific knowledge as well as experience of technical management and organization will be analyzed, in terms of structural design and analysis, safety assessment, execution reliability, achieved performance and durability. National and international research advances associated to real design issues will be presented. Special focus will be put on works carried out within the frame of fib and AFGC to promote a common scientific and technical approach for structural analysis and design, and identification of life-cycle analysis parameters.
Scientific and Technical ProgramScientific and Technical ProgramScientific and Technical Program More than 100 abstracts have been selected following UHPFRC 2013 call for papers, which attests the growing interest for these materials and an increasing experience in using them. Presentations will take place in plenary or twin parallel sessions along the 2,5 days of the symposium, focusing on : - Major recent realizations, - Decisive use of UHPFRC in structural retrofitting and combination of UHPFRC and ordinary RC, - Durability and resistance of UHPFRC under severe on-site or laboratory conditions, - Prospective applications of UHPFRC in current or outstanding works, - Recent advances in UHPFRC structures design and ductility assessment, - Recent results of constitutive characterization and mix optimization of UHPFRC.

Marseille and the MuCEM
Marseille is the oldest city in France. Its urban architecture and population reflect its 2600 years-long story. This rich heritage is a durable link for present and future generations with the multiple aspects and adventures of the « Phocaean City ». As a welcoming harbour city for immigrants, Marseille has gained a strong identity and a unique melting pot culture. Today, the second largest city in France and Mediterranean metropolis, has been designated « European capital city of culture ». All the 2013 year long outstanding cultural events will be held, workshops, exhibitions, performances and festivals. For the occasion Marseille has renewed its urban figure and shoreline with iconic architectural achievements attesting of an undamaged creative power. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (MUCEM), opening in 2013, complementing the Musée du Quai Branly and the National Museum of the History of Immigration, creates an intellectual heritage and a national centre devoted to world’s cultures. It also constitutes an outstanding realization due to the systematic structural and decorative use of UHPFRC. After the roofing of Millau Viaduct toll gate, the villa Navarra or the Angels footbridge, it is a decisive step in the technical and aesthetic use of these materials in the French Provence and over. We look forward to welcoming you in Marseille and letting you discover this unique and bold architectural achievement, precisely during the technical exchange opportunity of UHPFRC symposium on UHPFRC potential for building.

The Association Française de Génie Civil (AFGC) is an ideal place for everyone involved in civil engineering (engineers or technicians, architects, academics or students) to meet and exchange ideas. The Association’s aim is to link the world of materials to the world of
structures, the world of education and research to the world of designing and building and to make the profession of Civil Engineering more appealing to young people. The
founder members of the AFGC are the French Ministry of Public Works, professional construction and materials federations, and major public-sector and private-sector infrastructure developers. It currently has more than one thousand members (individual or group memberships). Through close contacts with the IABSE (International
Association for Bridges and Structural Engineering), RILEM (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures), fib (International Federation for Structural Concrete) and the ACI
(American Concrete Institute), the AFGC provides invaluable links between French civil-engineering research and
practice and the international scientific community. The Association is a network through which French engineers and researchers working abroad can keep up with French know how. Its ambition is to promote French engineering
throughout the world. Being decentralized, the AFGC enables members to easily benefit from activities organized by
its regional delegations.
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib - fédération internationale du béton) is a non-profit organisation created in 1998 from the merger of the Euro-International
Concrete Committee (CEB - Comité Euro-International du Béton) and the International Federation for Prestressin (FIP - Fédération Internationale de la Précontrainte). The parent organisations CEB and FIP existed independently since 1952. The objectives of fib as given in
the statutes are to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction. These objectives shall be achieved by the stimulation of research, the synthesis of findings from
research and practice, the dissemination of the results by way of publications, guidance documents and the organisation of international congresses and symposia, the production of recommendations for the design and
construction of concrete structures, the information of members on the latest developments. The objectives shall be pursued in conjunction with the existing international technical associations and regional standardisation organisations.
RILEM, The International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems
and Structures, is a non profit-making, non-governmental scientific association founded in France in 1947, whose vocation is to contribute to progress in the construction sciences, techniques and
industries. RILEM members include the leading building research and testing laboratories around the world with interests in industrial research, manufacturing and contracting, as well as a significant number of individual members from universities and industry. RILEM's focus is on
construction materials and their use in building and civil engineering structures, covering all phases of the building process from manufacture to use and recycling of materials. RILEM meets these
objectives through the work of its technical committees. Symposia, workshops and seminars are organised to facilitate the exchange of information and dissemination of knowledge. RILEM publishes the journal Materials and Structures, the flagship of the association, which a unique
international and interdisciplinary forum for new research findings on the performance of construction materials. The journal is dedicated to the publication of high quality reviewed papers examining the fundamental properties of building materials, their characterization and processing techniques, modeling,
standardization of test methods, and the application of research results in building and civil engineering. Many other publications, in the form of reports and proceedings, are produced and published on the website
www.rilem.net for free.
