Material Requirements and Selection Analysis of Embedded Parts for UHPC Component Installation

In the installation of UHPC components, embedded parts serve as the key nodes connecting components to the main structure. The selection of their materials and the rationality of their choice directly affect the safety, durability, and overall engineering quality of architectural decoration. As an industry leader with 28 years of deep expertise in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group draws on its full-chain service experience to provide designers and owners with professional analysis of embedded part material requirements and selection, helping projects achieve seamless connection from design to implementation.

### I. Core Material Requirements for Embedded Parts of UHPC Components: Dual Safeguards for Safety and Performance

UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete), with its ultra-high strength, excellent durability, and other characteristics, is widely used in high-end scenarios such as landmark buildings and commercial complexes. As the "lifeline" of UHPC components, embedded parts must meet the following core material requirements: First, the material strength must match UHPC performance; low-alloy steel or stainless steel of grade Q355B or above is typically used to ensure no plastic deformation occurs under long-term loads. Second, weather resistance is a key indicator for outdoor environments; the embedded part surface must be treated through processes such as hot-dip galvanizing or fluorocarbon spraying, with a salt spray test duration of no less than 5000 hours to resist erosion from rain, ultraviolet rays, and other elements. In addition, the weldability and machinability of the material cannot be overlooked, as they must guarantee welding quality and precision adjustment needs during on-site installation. Qinglong Group strictly implements this standard in production, ensuring that embedded parts and UHPC components form a stable mechanical entity through the material testing system of its national-level R&D center.

### II. Embedded Part Selection Strategy: Matching Scenarios and Engineering Requirements

The selection of embedded parts requires comprehensive judgment based on the weight of UHPC components, installation methods, and building functions. Common types include flat plate embedded parts, channel embedded parts, and bolt group embedded parts: flat plate embedded parts are suitable for decorative lines with smaller loads, featuring simple structure and controllable cost; channel embedded parts achieve adjustability through T-bolts and are widely used for UHPC cladding panels in curtain wall systems, facilitating on-site positioning and adjustment; bolt group embedded parts are suitable for oversized irregular UHPC components such as artistic sculptures and double-curved roofs, distributing loads through multiple bolts under uniform stress. Taking the renovation project of Century Plaza on Nanjing East Road as an example, the Qinglong team innovatively adopted a combined solution of aluminum alloy embedded channels and stainless steel bolts for the lightweight characteristics of light-transmitting UHPC components, which not only met load-bearing requirements but also avoided the impact of metal thermal expansion and contraction on the light transmission effect. The project won the Silver Award of the First UHPC Construction Engineering Innovation Award.

### III. Quality Control of Embedded Parts from a Full-Chain Perspective

As a national-level high-tech enterprise integrating detailed design, production and manufacturing, and construction and installation, Qinglong Group emphasizes full-process control of embedded parts from design to maintenance. In the design phase, BIM technology is used to simulate the stress state of embedded parts and optimize anchor bar length and layout spacing; in production, automated welding production lines ensure weld strength, and RFID chips enable quality traceability; during construction, combined with 3D laser scanning technology for precise positioning, installation errors are controlled within ±2mm. In addition, Qinglong has established an after-sales maintenance network covering the whole country, regularly conducting corrosion testing and fastening checks on embedded parts, practicing the service commitment of "meticulous attention to detail and pursuit of excellence." This full-chain advantage has made Qinglong a strategic partner of well-known real estate groups such as Poly and China Overseas, with products exported to Southeast Asian and Australian markets.
