The paper presents the results obtained on cylindrical Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete specimens with diameter of 30mm and a height of 60mm under compression at high stress rate (1.7–2.3 TPa/s). Four different percentages of fibre reinforcement are considered (1, 2, 3, and 4% fibre content) and compared with the results of the matrix (UHPC). A slight reduction of the strength and fracture time with the introduction of fibres is observed. The experimental results are analysed and discussed with the intent to better understand the mechanical behaviour of UHPFRC materials in case of dynamic event under service loading conditions.

When understanding the effect of the morphology of coarse aggregate on the properties of a fresh concrete mixture, the strength and deformability of self-compacting high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (SCHPFRC) can be seen to be critical for its performance. In this research, regular and irregular grains were separated from granite coarse aggregate. The morphology of these grains was described while using digital image analysis. As a result, the aspect ratio, roundness and area ratio were determined in order to better understand this phenomenon. Then, the principal rheological, physical, and mechanical properties of SCHPFRC were determined. The obtained results indicated that the morphology of the grains of coarse aggregate has an impact on the strength and stiffness properties of SCHPFRC. Moreover, significant differences in the transverse strain of concretes were observed. The morphology of the coarse aggregate also has an impact on the rheological parameters of a fresh concrete mixture. To better understand this phenomenon, the hypothesized mechanism of the formation of SCHPFRC caused by different morphology of coarse aggregate was proposed at the end of the article.
