...Mohamed Sifan; Brabha Nagaratnam; James Railton; Julian Thamboo; Keerthan Poologanathan; Sudharshan Raman The production of ultra-high-performance concrete ( UHPC ) often relies on ultra-fine particles such as silica fume ( SF ) to achieve its remarkable strength and durability. In this work...

...Huang Bin; Xue Feixiang; Gong Mingzi; Huang Wei; Pan Axin; Yang Yu The aim of this study was to investigate the interfacial mechanical attributes between steel fibre (SF) and an ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) matrix. Using both experimental testing and numerical simulation, a comprehensive...

... splitting strength, flexural toughness, and direct tensile properties) of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The results indicate that, compared with macrofiber reinforcement, the use of hybrid steel fibres (HSFs) (macrofibers and mesofibers) significantly improved the strength and toughness...

...Junxia Liu; Shujie Zang; Fei Yang The influence of the volume fraction (VF) of steel fibres, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres and their combination on the mechanical and fracture mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) was studied. To analyse the synergistic effect of steel...

...Awadhesh Sharma; Mohd. Ashraf Iqbal; Sonalisa Ray The aim of this research was to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) using fly ash (FA) and quartz powder (QP) as sustainable cement replacements. The performance of the various constituents...

... porous structure. The improvement of the mechanical properties of concrete can provide material savings by reducing the cross-sections of the structural elements to be used in buildings. Ultra-high-performance concrete, which has been an important subject of studies in recent years, is an important...
