The Properties and Behavior of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete: The Effects of Aggregate Volume Content and Particle Size by Evgenii Matiushin, Ivan Sizyakov, Victoria Shvetsova, Vadim Soloviev

“…It was found that the mechanical properties of the material, such as the steel fiber bond strength, compressive and axial tensile strength, fracture energy, and critical stress intensity factor, depend on both the concentration of the aggregate and the size of its particles. A novel mix-design parameter was proposed, which reflects the total surface area of the aggregate in the composition (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>S</mi><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>g</mi><mi>g</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>t</mi><mi>o</mi><mi>t</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>). …”
