The high-strength concrete having a better compressive strength demeanor can be manufactured by the addition of the fibers which eliminates the inherent weakness, the brittle failure due to lack of tensile strength. In this study, an experimental study covering the enhancement of the mechanical characteristics and the investigation of the performance against the aggressive acid attack of high-performance cementitious composites (HPCC). For this, steel and glass types of fiber were employed in the manufacturing of HPCC, as either single or hybrid at various levels. The HPCC mixtures were designed at a constant water-to-cementitious ratio of 0.25. Portland cement and microsilica were employed in the manufacturing as cementitious material whereas the aggregate was the mix of river and quartz sands. 14 HPCC mixtures were designed and the flowability, unit weight, compressive and flexural strengths, sorptivity index, ultrasonic pulse velocity were tested at various ages. Besides, the loss in the strength, mass, and dimension of HPCC mixtures was also measured after exposure of the mixtures 1- and 2-month aggressive sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Additionally, the experimental results were statistically evaluated through general linear model ANOVA. Based on the results, the highest compressive strength values were observed in the HPCC mixture manufactured with steel fiber. The lowest losses in both flexural and compressive strengths were observed in the mixtures produced with microsilica. Steel fiber addition increased the compressive strength not only after applying the normal curing regime but also after exposing the sulfuric acid. Both flexural and compressive strength of HPCC mixtures were influenced by fiber type and volume fraction. The addition of glass fiber decreased compressive strength.
