Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), also known as reactive powder concrete (RPC), is type of concrete material that has a minimum specified compressive strength of 17,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or 120 Megapascals (MPa)

[EMS Concrete Petrography Laboratory @EMSPetrography]

This is because UHPC uses fine materials for its matrix. When the mixture includes metal, synthetic, or organic fibers, UHPC can have flexural strengths up to around 7,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or 48 Megapascals (MPa).
