In this research, the flexural and shear behavior of five locally developed ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams was experimentally investigated. Four-point loading tests were carried out on concrete specimens which were further compared with five normal-strength concrete beams constructed at the laboratory. The objective of this study is to assess the flexural and shear behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams and compare them with that of normal-strength beams and available equations in the literature. Results indicate underestimation of shear (up to 2.71 times) and moment capacities (minimum 1.27 times, maximum 3.55 times) by most of the equations in beams with low-reinforcement ratios. Finally, results reveal that the experimental flexural and shear capacities of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete specimens are up to 3.5 times greater than their normal-strength counterpart specimens.

The scope of this paper is to investigate the performance of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) concrete slabs, under projectile impact. Mixture performance under impact loading was examined using bullets with 7.62 mm diameter and initial velocity 800 m/s. The UHPFRC, used in this study, consists of a combination of steel fibers of two lengths: 6 mm and 13 mm with the same diameter of 0.16 mm. Six composition mixtures were tested, four UHPFRC, one ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), without steel fibers, and high strength concrete (HSC). Slabs with thicknesses of 15, 30, 50, and 70 mm were produced and subjected to real shotgun fire in the field. Penetration depth, material volume loss, and crater diameter were measured and analyzed. The test results show that the mixture with a combination of 3% 6 mm and 3% of 13 mm length of steel fibers exhibited the best resistance to projectile impact and only the slabs with 15 mm thickness had perforation. Empirical models that predict the depth of penetration were compared with the experimental results. This material can be used as an overlay to buildings or to construct small precast structures.
