DEVELOPMENT OF ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

The construction industry is a major consumer of material and energy sources in the world. Among all the construction materials concrete is the most widely used. The demand for the concrete is increasing day by day due to increased consumer requirements and changing site conditions. The addition of fibers to the concrete will further enhance the properties of concrete like tensile strength, High energy absorption and prevent ductile failure. It is an effective way to increase toughness, shock resistance and resistance to plastic shrinkage cracking of the concrete. These fibers have many benefits. Many developments have been made in the fiber reinforced concrete. This Study is an attempt to use nano materialS and fibers to produce ultra high performance concrete (UHP-FRC).
