Ultra-high performance concrete reinforcement bars

3-6. (canceled)

9-13. (canceled)

In combination, a hybrid concrete construction element having a conventional concrete component and an ultra-high performance concrete reinforcement bar component, comprising:

• an elongate concrete construction element made from conventional concrete, the construction element having a compression area and a tension area when subjected to a bending stress, wherein each of the compression and tension areas includes an elongated compression face and tension face, respectively;
• and
• at least one elongate reinforcement bar made from ultra-high performance concrete having steel reinforcing fibers, the at least one elongate reinforcement bar being incorporated into and extending along the tension face, thereby providing the tension reinforcement for the construction element.
