Behavior of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete with Hybrid Synthetic Fiber Waste Exposed to Elevated Temperatures
Open accessAbstract
The reinforcement of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) with fibers was investigated in this study. Concrete is the most widely used manmade construction material, and UHPC has remarkable mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of UHPC can be modified by a variety of curing procedures and the amount of cement used. This study aimed to examine the impact of fiber reinforcement, temperature, and exposure time on UHPC. Initially, the temperature for UHPC was changed from 300 °C to 500 °C and the exposure time set to 1 and 2 h. Various combinations of the ultrasonic pulse, thermal conductivity, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting, modulus of elasticity, and drop hammer impact (impact resistance, impact energy, and ductility index) were investigated after 91 days of steam curing. For steam curing, the temperature was kept at 90 °C for three days. The mechanical characteristics of UHPC were the primary focus of this research. The test results showed that the accelerated curing regime achieved a maximum compressive strength of 102.6 MPa for UHPC specimens without fibers and 124.7 MPa for UHPC specimens with fibers, which represents a 22% increase in compressive strength. When compared to UHPC without fibers, all the qualities of UHPC with fibers were improved, especially when subjected to high temperatures. The incorporation of hybrid synthetic waste fibers was a key aspect in developing new ultra-high-strength concrete features.

Integrating multiple NDT techniques enhances accuracy.
“By integrating multiple techniques, additional parameters can be evaluated and added to the measurement process, which in turn enhances accuracy [112,113].”
From Effects of Environmental and Operational Conditions on Structural Health Monitoring and Non-Destructive Testing: A Systematic Review (2023) · cites this paper as [112]
Section 2.3.1 describes using ultrasonic pulse velocity to estimate damage and residual compressive strength, and the Abstract lists several measurements. Neither passage says that integrating multiple NDT techniques adds parameters or improves accuracy; searches for that proposition found no supporting passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
