Popis: In this study, filler and silica fume were substituted by Liquid crystal display glass powder (LCDGP) and nanosilica, respectively, to improve the performance of ultra-high- performance fiber-reinforced concrete. In addition, the surface of steel fiber was modified with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution to improve the interfacial friction between the fiber and Ultra-high-performanceconcrete (UHPC) matrix. Both LCDGP and nanosilica reacted with calcium hydroxide to form hydrates, and the fiber surface roughness increased owing to the EDTA treatment. When LCDGP was used, the compressive strength decreased owing to a decrease in packing density; however, the compressive and tensile strengths of Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced-concrete (UHPFRC) were improved on using nanosilica. It was observed that the surface modification of the fiber increased the friction force between the UHPC and fiber interface; therefore, it was more effective in improving the tensile strength than the compressive strength.
