Future living on the open sea with UHPC constructions

UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) is a material that has been proposed for use in the construction of floating cities due to its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

The concept of floating cities, also known as seasteading, involves the construction of large, self-sufficient communities that are capable of sustaining human life in open water.

The use of UHPC in floating city construction would provide several advantages over traditional building materials. One of the primary advantages is the material's strength and durability, which would allow for the construction of large, stable structures that could withstand the harsh conditions of the open sea.

Another advantage is UHPC's low permeability, which would help to prevent water intrusion and damage to the structures over time. Additionally, UHPC has excellent resistance to abrasion, erosion, and chemical attack, making it ideal for use in marine environments.

The design of UHPC floating cities would need to take into consideration several factors, including the design of the structures themselves, the infrastructure required to sustain human life (such as energy and waste management systems), and the logistics of transporting and constructing the structures in open water.

Overall, while the concept of UHPC floating cities is still largely in the realm of theory (the first floating city projects are now planned), the use of UHPC as a building material will have significant benefits for building self-sufficient, sustainable communities on the open sea.

With basalt volcanic rock fiber reinforcements even far longer lasting.
