Abstract
The aim of the specific study is to present the results of an extended work on the development of an UHPFRCC with the use of materials available in Cyprus. The fundamental idea for the development of this high performance material is the enhancement of the microstructure of the final product. Moreover, the inclusion of small steel fibres in the mix improves substantially the tensile strength of the produced cementitious composite. The study will present results on mechanical properties and durability indicators of the produced material.
