Understanding the Role of Fiber Reinforcement in UHPC

Ultra-High-Performance Concrete distinguishes itself from conventional and even high-performance concretes through its densely packed microstructure, incorporating low water-to-binder ratios and fine mineral admixtures. However, to overcome brittleness and control microcracking, fiber reinforcement plays a vital role.

Key Functions of Concrete Fibers for UHPC Concrete:

1

Crack Control at Multiple Scales

Fibers intercept and bridge both microcracks and macrocracks, maintaining structural integrity under tensile and flexural stress.

2

Toughness Enhancement

Direct tensile toughness and post-crack ductility are central to UHPC. Fibers provide strain-hardening behavior that prevents sudden brittle failure.

3

Improved Durability

Reduced crack width minimizes permeability and chloride ion ingress, extending structure lifespan in aggressive environments.

4

Load Redistribution

Fiber networks allow distributed stress transfer, limiting localized failure and improving impact resistance.

LANDU NovaStar™'s specialized Concrete Fibers for UHPC Concrete ensure these performance benefits are consistently achieved—regardless of project scale or design complexity.

Comparing NovaStar™ Fiber Types for UHPC Applications

Choosing the right fiber—or a hybrid system combining both—depends on the design objective, strength requirement, and manufacturing process of each UHPC component.

How NovaStar™ Concrete Fibers for UHPC Concrete Improve Structural Behavior

UHPC's superior mechanical characteristics stem from its optimized microstructure and fiber synergy. NovaStar™ fibers are engineered to complement this system through three critical mechanisms:

1

Crack Bridging

Fibers bridge microcracks that occur due to shrinkage or loading, maintaining load-bearing capacity even after cracking initiates.

Key Benefits:
  • Prevents crack propagation
  • Maintains structural integrity
  • Controls shrinkage cracking
  • Extends service life
2

Strain Hardening

Fibers enhance post-crack tensile strength, producing pseudo-ductile behavior typical of steel-reinforced metals.

Key Benefits:
  • Enhanced ductility
  • Prevents brittle failure
  • Improves tensile strength
  • Metal-like behavior
3

Energy Absorption

During sudden loading, the fiber network distributes stress, increasing impact and blast resistance.

Key Benefits:
  • Superior impact resistance
  • Blast load mitigation
  • Distributed stress transfer
  • Enhanced safety performance
