Ultra-High Performance Concrete: Mechanical Performance, Durability, Sustainability and Implementation Challenges
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive literature review has been conducted on the material characterization of UHPC and its potential for large-scale field applicability, and it has been shown that the successful production of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) depends on its material ingredients and mixture proportioning, which leads to denser and relatively homogenous particle packing.
