Description
Summary:•Fibers might be wielded for the fabrication of Ultrahigh performance fibre reinforced concrete.•UHPFRC unveiling a higher compressive, tensile and flexural strengths.•UHPFRC is having higher ductility as well as admirable durability.•The article reviewed the mechanical properties, specimens size effect, as well as loading rate effect.•The article also reveals the effects of fıbre– type, geometry, length, volume and orientation on concrete attribute. Ultrahigh performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is a newfangled cement-based material unveiling a compressive strength of more than 150 MPa, higher tensile and flexural strengths, ductility as well as admirable durability. This review of the past researches on diverse influential features is vital in obtaining fundamental data for its viability for the application. Consequently, this study aimed to review the available literatures on UHPFRCs that examine the attributes of ideal UHPFRC, such as mechanical properties viz., compressive, tensile and flexural strengths; mixing proportions and environment friendliness; curing regimes; effect of specimens size on its compressive, flexural and tensile strength as well as loading rate; effects of fıbre properties – type, geometry, length, and volume fractions, orıentatıon and quantıty attrıbutes of UHPFRC is endeavoured along with relevant discussion. Subsequently, the best UHPFRC mixture was determined to be obtainable with 2% to 3% of steel fibre content and water/cement ratio of
