Combination of iron rods with concrete in the mid-19th allowed the development of ‘reinforced
1860 concrete’, the construction material par excellence in the 20th century
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) technology started being developed in the 1970s, with a huge
1970s increase in both the matrix performance and durability
The term High-Performance Concrete (HPC) was coined in the 1980s to refer to a concrete with a
1980s compressive strength between 6700 and 14500 MPa and with improved durability properties
The term Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) was coined in 1994, referring to an optimized
1994 particle-packing material with an increase in both compressive strength (above 160 MPa) and
durability
