A systematic literature review was undertaken in this report to illustrate the development concepts and properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). UHPC's affluent development relies on its compositional content, water–binder (w/b) ratio, and design mix approach, which contributes to denser and comparatively more homogeneous packaging of particles. Numerous research studies from around the world were used to compile a database on UHPC mechanical and durability properties. Moreover, the results of this study reveal that the curing conditions, aggregates, fibre dosage and characteristics, and curing time are the most important elements in determining the mechanical and durability qualities of UHPC. Furthermore, due to its ultra-high-strength features, superior fatigue behavior, and extremely low porosity, UHPC is considered a practical and long-term alternative for improved sustainable building, resulting in increased resilience to hostile environments. Besides that, attempts are being taken to resolve existing challenges (such as high initial costs, a lack of skills, and a lack of design code) and their solutions to their widespread economic use. This study aims to help architects, builders, and other construction stakeholders better grasp UHPC's basic features and capacities, which will help to understand this durable and long-lasting building material.
