ABSTRACT
The economy of concrete made it historically one of the most preferred construction materials for the establishment of our modern infrastructural system (Aïtcin 2000). However, normal concrete presents deficiencies like the low strength developed in comparison to the weight and the brittleness. Among the achievements coping with such problems, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementious Composite (HPFRCC) achieves ductile behavior while developing significantly high compressive strength. HPFRCC exhibits remarkable strength development, ductility and durability to carbonation and alkali-reaction due to a very low Water-to-Binder ratio (W/B) compared to normal concrete, the absence of coarse aggregate, and the adoption of high fineness admixtures and steel fiber (Richard & Cheyrezy 1995).
