Experimental and Numerical Characterization of Non-Proprietary UHPFRC Beam—Parametric Analyses of Mechanical Properties

Fabrication of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is costly, especially when commercial materials are used. Additionally, in contrast to conventional concrete, numerical procedures simulate the behaviour fibre-reinforced (UHPFRC) very limited. To contribute foregoing issues this field, local were used fabrication process, while accounting for environmental and costs. Micro steel fibres (L: 13 mm, d: 0.16 ft: 2600 MPa; L: length, diameter, tensile strength) 2% volumetric ratios. Compression indirect tests carried out on cylindrical prismatic beams according international standards. further enrich research limited simulation data UHPFRC, better comprehension parameters, analyses performed using ATENA software. Finally, nonlinear regression employed capture deflection-flexural response beams. The results promising, indicating cost-effective that met minimum requirements UHFRC terms compressive strength. Furthermore, inverse analysis proved be an easy efficient method capturing flexural UHPFRC
