Mechanical properties and durability of Ultra-High Performance Concretes (UHPC) are closely associated with composition and microstructure of tested samples. In this work, determination of effective elastic properties of UHPC composite was performed for a representative volume element using combination of microstructural investigations (scanning electron microscope imaging, image analysis of back scattered electron micrographs and nanoindentation) and analytical methods of micromechanics. Based on the volumetric content and micromechanical behavior of individual components an effective elastic modulus of the whole composite was predicted and compared with macroscopically measured value with good agreement.
