“…Concrete is generally believed to perform poorly in tension but UHPC's strength in tension is overwhelmingly high, usually not less than 7 MPa [57], when compared with normal concrete. The tensile strength of UHPC is greatly enhanced by fibre presence and described using its ductile behaviour.…”

“…% steel fibres [81]. It is coarser than RPC [57] and it has about 220 MPa strength in compression [82]. The first industrial application of BSI® was in 1998, where it was used to produce beams that were in turn used to replace the steel beams of the cooling towers in Civaux power plant.…”

“…It also has better durability potentials than the then RPC from which it was developed [88]. It is marketed by Lafarge Inc. and Bouygues [57]. It has been used in several projects like the construction of the Seonyu footbridge in South Korea in 2002; and the incorporation of Ductal UHPC into the state road 211 bridge construction near Athens in Georgia in 2016 [89].…”

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) been an advanced concrete introduced as reactive powder concrete (RPC) over twenty years ago, is now being employed for use in the construction industry of some developed countries like China, Germany and United States of America. Its excellent properties in structural performance and durability make it the civil engineering material that will reshape the future of the construction industry in terms of structural performance; and this paper aims at helping construction experts and developing countries to understand and accept UHPC for use in everyday construction works. The paper gives an in-depth review on the classification of UHPCs based on mix proportion and mechanical properties. Firstly, the mixture design and the mechanical properties of UHPC were discussed. Then UHPC was classified into different types based on mechanical properties and the manufacturer’s modification of the ingredients used for reactive powder concrete or multi-scale cement composite production. This review shows that Funk and Dinger model (also known as Modified Andreasen and Andersen model (MAA)) is the most accepted and widely used mix design method for UHPC. It also revealed that UHPC’s compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength are in excess of 150, 7 and 40 MPa respectively. It further classified UHPC into BCV®, BSI®, Cemtec®, Ceracem, Ductal, DURA and UHPC with coarse aggregate; and this classification (especially UHPC with coarse aggregate) is a good sign that local materials can be incorporated into UHPC by developing countries for cost minimisation.

“…Typically, such concretes are produced with high-quality cement, maintaining a low water-cement ratio (water-binder), resulting from the use of highly effective chemical admixtures (plasticizers and superplasticizers) and active additives of type II (most frequently silica fume SF) [50,51]. The application of high-strength concrete in construction allows for a reduction in cross-sections of structural elements, less wear of reinforcing steel and the reduction of the structure's own weight while ensuring that the load capacity of the element and durability are preserved at the right level [52,53].…”

The broader use of cements with a higher content of the main non-clinker components in construction industry is one of the directions leading to the decarbonization in cement production. This contribution analyzes the properties of low-emission cements containing from 44% to 56% of Portland clinker in their composition and indicates the possibilities of wider use in the construction. The obtained results confirmed that following the appropriate technological regimes, low-emission cements can be implemented into the production of concrete exposed to carbonation-induced corrosion (exposure class XC4 according to EN 206), frost-resistant concrete (exposure class XF4 according to EN 206), self-compacting concrete (SCC) and high-performance concrete (HPC). An analysis of the level of CO2 emissions in the production of specific types of concrete using low-emission cements was also made.
