UHPC Floor Repair Technical Manual: Rapid Repair Solutions for Existing Industrial Floors
Many existing industrial floors suffer from cracks, dusting, joint spalling, and delamination. Traditional demolition and reconstruction require long downtime and high costs. The UHPC long-lasting repair solution covers damaged areas with a UHPC overlay, featuring high early strength for 24-48 hour return to service and high bond strength for long-term stability.

The Taiping system includes three technical lines: post-tensioned integrated floor, UHPC integrated floor, and UHPC long-lasting repair. Each is suited for different scenarios. This guide covers cold chain warehouses, industrial facilities, and underground garages, explaining core principles, applications, and restrictions, along with a selection matrix and self-check recommendations to help owners quickly identify the right floor solution.

Large warehouse floors crack mainly because drying shrinkage and temperature movement are restrained by the subgrade, by reinforcement, or by the slab's own geometry. Crack control comes from managing that restraint through panel size, reinforcement or post-tensioning, and curing, not from the concrete mix alone.
Read article →Technical ResourceWhat is a jointless industrial concrete floor, and when is it the right choice?
A jointless industrial floor is built as large reinforced or post-tensioned panels with construction joints only, instead of the tight grid of saw-cut joints used in conventional slabs. It suits large, heavily trafficked floors where joint maintenance, not the concrete itself, is the main source of downtime.
Read article →Technical ResourceFloor Joints: Industry Practice or Design Flaw?
Industrial floors are typically cut with joints every few meters as an industry practice. However, joints are not irreplaceable—they are a compromise solution to concrete shrinkage, leaving long-term issues such as spalling, hygiene contamination, and AGV interference. This article explains the origin and limitations of joints from the mechanism of concrete shrinkage, and then illustrates how post-tensioned integrated floor systems actively suppress cracking by applying pre-compression, extending joint spacing from ≤6 m to the order of 150 m.

Over the past three decades, prestressed technology in China has evolved through three phases: introduction (1990s, learning international standards), accumulation (2000s, localized application and standard co-development), and innovation (2010s to present, scenario-specific breakthroughs). This article traces the trajectory and BICP's contributions—3D finite element optimization algorithms, BICP-ST cryogenic anchorage system, and participation in eight industry standards.
