Three mixture proportions are considered for all testing techniques, covering a reference mixture without added fibres and a couple of mixes with 1.5 \% and 3.0 \% of fibres, respectively. Conclusions are taken in regard to the particularities of stiffness evolution in UHPFRC in of the particularities of the material (namely the presence of fibers).\

The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 25 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
