This paper intends to examine the effects if the length and shape of steel fibers on the mechanical characteristics of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Accordingly, the length (l) of the steel fibers with diameter (d) of 0.2 mm is varied as 13 mm, 16.3 mm and 19.5 mm and their corresponding aspect ratios (l/d) are 65, 82 and 98. Straight and wave-shaped fibers are adopted to manufacture UHPC. Thereafter, the effects of the aspect ratio and characteristics of the wave-shape of the steel fibers on the strength characteristics of UHPC are examined through compressive and flexural strength tests. The results showed small differences in the workability and compressive behavior but revealed that changing the length of the fibers and increasing the aspect ratio are improving the flexural behavior of UHPC. Specifically, the flexural strength was enhanced by 25% and the flexural toughness by 30%. Compared to rectilinear fibers, the adoption of wave-shaped fibers is seen to degrade the flexural behavior regardless of the aspect ratio. Consequently, using straight steel fibers and adopting larger aspect ratio seems advisable to improve the toughness of UHPC.

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC), which has very special properties that are remarkably different to the properties of normal and high performance concrete, is being increasingly used for the construction of structure. In this paper, an experimental program was formulated to investigate the characteristics of complete stress-strain curve of UHPC in uniaxial compression and flexural behaviors of prestressed UHPC beams. The particular focus was the influence of the partial prestress ratio and jacking stress on the flexural response of UHPC beams. The results show that UHPC is of good deformability, and a general form of the serpentine curve is proposed to represent the complete stress-strain relationship of UHPC in compression. The tests of beams demonstrated that the UHPC beams have an excellent behavior in load carrying capacity, crack distribution and deformability, their ultimate deflection can reach 1/34～1/70 of the span. Based on this investigation, theoretical correlations for the prediction structure response of UHPC beam are proposed.
