Concrete Deck

We could use this super-concrete for the deck. Thoughts?

Ductal is a proprietary pre-mixed ultra-high performance concrete with high compressive strength, high tensile strength and high durability together with high fatigue performance.

The Footbridge of Peace Seoul, Korea
Span 120 m (400 ft)
Height 15 m (45 ft)
Bridge deck thickness 3 cm (1¼")
Bridge deck width 4.3 m (17 ft)

Total Ductal mass 220 tonnes (240 tons)
Passive reinforcement 0
Pre-stressed reinforcement 12 tonnes (13.2 tons)






Sherbrooke Bridge, Quebec
Constructed with Ductal, this pedestrian bridge spans 60 m (190 ft) with a deck thickness of just 3 cm (1¼").
This project features several technological innovations:
Absence of passive reinforcements
Miniaturized pre-stressing
Diagonals in confined Ductal
