Researchers tested ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) mixed with steel, basalt or polyamide fibres and found that 2.0% micro steel fibres gave the strongest concrete, reaching 182 MPa. They also trained machine learning models to predict strength; the study is based on 234 lab samples from a single testing programme.
