Advances in the mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC)
Since the concept of ultra high performance concrete(UHPC)was proposed in 1979,based on the theory of"Densified System with ultra-fine Particles"(DSP),considerable progress has been made in theory and application.This paper summarizes the research progress on the mechanical properties of UHPC in the past half-century,particularly in the past decade,including(1)the mechanical properties of UHPC under quasistatic loads,(2)the mechanical response of UHPC under impact and explosive loads,and(3)the durability of UHPC mechanical properties.Finally,some important problems related to the mechanical properties of UHPC that need to be solved in the future are presented.
