Recently, the trend toward larger structures continues and accelerates demand for ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) which satisfies structural performance. Most of researchers study on the method to increase the strength of ultra-high-strength concrete for the demand of construction market. For the application, however, ultra-high-strength concrete was needed lots of experimental study from material properties and mechanical properties to evaluate structural behavior. Currently, the design standard for concrete shrinkage and creep is limited to a range of 20 MPa to 70 MPa. It should be compensate the previous design standard to using for ultra-high-strength concrete. the ultra-high-strength concrete is appeared large autogenous shrinkage and crack may be occurred in less shrinkage once water to binder ratio is small and unit binder is large. The ultra-high-strength concrete is subjected to critical influence on micro-cracking owing to the small porosity. It should be considered the long-term behavior likely shrinkage and creep while the architectural buildings and long-span bridges are designed. In this study, therefore, the long-term behavior of ultra-high-strength concrete was investigated the parameters of water to cement ratio.
