Abstract—Experiments of thin elements made from ultra-high performance concrete reinforced by a textile glass mat were carried out under laboratory conditions. The concrete had a fine-grained matrix according to a recipe. The recipe has been designed at the Klokner Institute. Thin-walled test specimens were subjected to a short-term load as well as to a long-term load. The short-term loading was performed in the testing machine and the long-term one under permanent load. The 2D glass textile reinforcement was protected by an alkali-resistant treatment and was loaded in four-point bending test. Many accompanying tests determined the material properties of the matrix and of the glass reinforcements. A comparison was made between the results of the experimental investigation and the results of numerical analysis.
