    Ynna Gesite
    The document discusses hybrid concrete construction (HCC) and its potential for sustainable infrastructure development in Nigeria. HCC combines pre-casting and cast-in-place construction techniques, allowing for faster, more economical construction with strength, durability and design flexibility. While popular in other regions, HCC application has been relatively slow in Nigeria. The paper examines criteria for deciding whether to adopt HCC over traditional methods in Nigeria and reviews the current state of HCC design, construction and research.

    Hybrid Concrete Construction (HCC) for Sustainable Infrastructure


    Development in Nigeria
    Authors : Muhammad Bello Ibrahim, M. Auwal Zakari, Aliyu Usman
    Abstract : Hybrid concrete construction (HCC) combines all the benefits of pre-casting with the advantages of cast in-situ
    construction. Merging the two, as a hybrid structure, results in even greater construction speed, value, and the overall

    economy. Its variety of uses has gained popularity in the United States and in Europe due to its distinctive benefits. However,
    the increase of its application in some countries (including Nigeria) has been relatively slow. Several researches have shown
    that hybrid construction offers an ultra-high performance concrete that offers superior strength, durability and aesthetics with
    design flexibility and within sustainability credentials, based on the available and economically visible technologies. This paper
    examines and documents the criterion that will help inform the process of deciding whether or not to adopt hybrid concrete
    construction (HCC) technology rather than more traditional alternatives. It also the present situation of design, construction
    and research on hybrid structures.
