Flexural behaviour and evaluation of ultra-high-performance fibre reinforced concrete beams cured at room temperature

Abstract Heat treatment is often required for ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) to achieve high strength. To broad its use in construction, the effect of different curing conditions on the properties of UHPC has been developed for many years. The experimental investigation of large scale ultra-...
