control at a rate of 5.0kN/s was applied to the UHPCC specimens. The cubic compressive strengths were measured and the averages of three parallel specimens for each
batch was reported as the test results.
1.3.2 Axial Compressive Test
The axial compressive test through displacement control was conducted to measure
the full compressive stress–strain curves. As shown in Fig. 1.4, a high rigidity material
