For almost ten years ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has been developed throughout the world. After a reviewing and carrying out a critical analysis of the different UHPFRCs which exist, and some prospects related to these materials, a new cementitious composite, patented by the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées (LCPC) in France, is presented. This UHPFRC has such good mechanical behaviour in tension that it is possible to construct structures or manufacture structural members without reinforcement in addition to the fibres.
