abstract = "This paper presents the results of the authors' laboratory testing of physical,
mechanical and durability properties of Ultra-high Performance Concrete (UHPC).
The short history of development and application of UHPC concrete is presented in
the first part of this paper while the second part deals with the experimental
investigation, presenting the results of material characterization obtained from
physical-mechanical and durability tests. Based on the results shown in the paper,
the mean value of compressive strength obtained at 28 days is 114 MPa, with the
average density of 2270 kg/m3 in hardened state. The results showed that tested
UHPC belongs to the highest class of water impermeability V-III, as well as the
highest class MS0 (without visible damage) in a simulated freeze-thaw environment
and de-icing salt attack test. Also, the highest class XM3 for abrasion resistance
was achieved. Additional tests showed that the tested concrete fulfils the
requirements for the highest exposure classes XC4 and XD4, in terms of resistance
to carbonation and the penetration of chloride ions. Conclusions and
recommendations for further development and possible application of UHPC are
presented at the end of paper.",
