To study the influence of hybrid fibers on the flexural properties of UHPC, steel fibers were mixed with three new types of micro-nonmetallic fiber. Through the center point loading test of seven groups of four-sided simply supported two-way slabs, the loading process, failure modes and load-deflection curves of each group were studied, and the initial crack load, peak load and bending toughness of hybrid fiber boards were analyzed. The results show that hybrid fibers can improve the initial crack load, peak load, energy absorption value and deformation performance of UHPC slabs. The energy absorption value of hybrid fiber board is higher than that of steel fiber (SF) doped 1.3%. The post-peak toughness indexes T9(5.5) and T14(8), T19(10.5) of hybrid fiber UHPC slabs were higher than those of single-doped with 1.3%SF and 1.8%SF specimens, and hybrid fiber improved the residual bearing capacity and deformation capacity. When SF is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA), glass fiber (GF) and basalt fiber (BF), the hybrid toughening effect of SF/PVA and SF/BF is better than SF/GF. Through energy absorption method, hardening index and post-peak toughness index, the strengthening and toughening effects of hybrid fiber UHPC slabs at different loading stages can be evaluated comprehensively.
