The main concern with concrete at high temperatures is loss of strength and explosive spalling, which are more pronounced in high-strength concretes, such as Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC). The use of polymeric fibers in the mixture helps control chipping, increasing porosity and reducing internal water vapor pressure, but their addition can impact its mechanical properties and workability. This study evaluated the physical and mechanical properties of UHPC with metallic and PVA fibers under high temperatures using a 2
