Mechanical and fracture characteristics of ultra-high performance concretes reinforced with hybridization of steel and glass fibers
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) provides exceptional mechanical and durability properties, but it is highly prone to cracking. Despite short steel fibers have been introduced to UHPC mixtures to mitigate brittleness and improve ductility, its effect on the tensile strength and fracture toughn...
