Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC)

Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is produced from cement, additions (powders), hard fine particles, water, admixtures and high amount of relatively short steel fibers. Thanks to densely packed structure, UHPFRC is waterproof and its compressive strength is about 200 MPa. In tension, UHPFRC shows significant hardening and softening behavior and the tensile strength is about 8 to 14 MPa.
