Abstract

Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a breakthrough in concrete technology, offering exceptional strength, durability, and ductility. This review compiles recent advances in the material design, microstructural evolution, and mechanical performance of UHPFRC. The composition is characterized by a dense matrix, low water-to-binder ratios, and the use of fine reactive powders and high-performance fibers. Innovations in mix design optimization and the incorporation of nano-materials have led to sustainability gains and cost efficiency. Applications in structural strengthening, bridge construction, and high-performance infrastructure demonstrate the practical viability of UHPFRC. However, challenges such as cost, workability, and standardization remain. This review underscores UHPFRC’s pivotal role in next-generation infrastructure, paving the way for resilient and sustainable construction practices.
