Abstract:
Because of the limited tensile strength and brittleness of ultra high performance concrete, it was natural for researchers to investigate the use of steel fibers to overcome these deficiencies. The characteristics of each of the three major types of ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete are described, and the current state of the research into each type is summarized.
