Original Abstract

Present technology is able to produce a concrete of a characteristic strength of 100 MPa without significant problems. Moreover, in a few past years a new grade of high strength concrete was developed - UHPC. It means Ultra High Performance Concrete. For the UHPCs is typical compressive strength of 150 MPa and above, and tensile strength of 20 MPa and above. These properties are allowed due to special composition of the concrete containing dispersed metallic fibres. Presented paper informs about possible usage of UHPC in a tied arch shell structure. For this task the model of mentioned structure was cast from special UHPC concrete mix. The paper deals with basic properties of the concrete and with the manufacturing and testing of the model.
