Assertion (A): Ultra-high performance concrete usually contains fibres.
Reason (R): Very high compressive strength does nothing to improve the brittleness of the material.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the need: a stronger matrix is if anything more brittle, so fibres are added to provide the ductility that would otherwise be entirely absent from such a dense mix. Fibre type and dosage are part of the mix design rather than an extra.
