“…Another type of HPC and UHPC that has emerged as a great potential for application in civil construction is based on alkali-activated cement [ 231 ]. This type of cement, unlike OPC, is composed of two materials: a powdery and amorphous component named as a precursor, and another liquid composed of an aqueous solution of a dilute alkali metal, named as an activator [ 232 , 233 ].…”

This review article proposes the identification and basic concepts of materials that might be used for the production of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Although other reviews have addressed this topic, the present work differs by presenting relevant aspects on possible materials applied in the production of HPC and UHPC. The main innovation of this review article is to identify the perspectives for new materials that can be considered in the production of novel special concretes. After consulting different bibliographic databases, some information related to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), mineral additions, aggregates, and chemical additives used for the production of HPC and UHPC were highlighted. Relevant information on the application of synthetic and natural fibers is also highlighted in association with a cement matrix of HPC and UHPC, forming composites with properties superior to conventional concrete used in civil construction. The article also presents some relevant characteristics for the application of HPC and UHPC produced with alkali-activated cement, an alternative binder to OPC produced through the reaction between two essential components: precursors and activators. Some information about the main types of precursors, subdivided into materials rich in aluminosilicates and rich in calcium, were also highlighted. Finally, suggestions for future work related to the application of HPC and UHPC are highlighted, guiding future research on this topic.

“…T01 has greater flexural strength and greater modulus of elasticity than T00. Alkaline treated fibers increases the flexural strength and modulus of the hardened mortars (Hussain & Ali, 2019;Sabarish, Paul, Bhuvaneshwari, & Jones, 2019). This is due, on the one hand, to what it causes in vegetal fibers: rougher surfaces, diameter decrease and decrease in tensile strength (Suardana, Piao, & Lim, 2011).…”

“…The popularization and application of sisal fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (SFRCCs) have broadened the comprehensive utilization of sisal biological resources and reduced the consumption of polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol fiber, carbon fiber, glass fiber, steel fiber, and cement in composites. Therefore, SFRCCs have the dual significance of efficient resource utilization and good environmental protection, which has led to widespread interest in them [13,15,16]. In normal use, building structures are inevitably subjected to accidental impacts, which may cause local component and structure damage or even total structure collapse.…”

In this paper, a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to investigate the dynamic impact mechanical behavior of sisal fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (SFRCCs), and the microscopic damage evolution of the composites was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The results show that the addition of sisal fibers improves the impact resistance of cement-based composite materials. Compared with ordinary cement-based composites (OCCs), the SFRCCs demonstrate higher post-peak strength, ductility, and energy absorption capacity with higher fiber content. Moreover, the SFRCCs are strain rate sensitive materials, and their peak stress, ultimate strain, and energy integrals all increase with increasing strain rate. From the perspective of fracture failure characteristics, the failure of OCCs is dominated by the brittle failure of crystal cleavage. In contrast, the failure mode of the SFRCCs changes to microscale matrix cracks, multi-scale pull-out interface debonding of fibers (fine filaments and bundles), and mechanical interlock. This research provides an experimental basis for the engineering application of high-performance and green cement-based composites.
