Abstract Due to the low water-cement ratio of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), fluidity and shrinkage cracking are key aspects determining the performance and durability of this type of concrete. In this study, the effects of different types of cementitious materials, chemical shrinkage-reducing agents (SRA) and steel fiber (SF) were assessed. Compared with M2-UHPC and M3-UHPC, M1-UHPC was found to have better fluidity and shrinkage cracking performance. Moreover, different SRA incorporation methods, dosage and different SF types and aspect ratios were implemented. The incorporation of SRA and SF led to a decrease in the fluidity of UHPC. SRA More >
