Abstract Variable obsen>ations concerning frost resistance of high performance concrete have been made. The question arises which are the decisive factors influencing durability under the action of frost and de-icing salt. The proposed experiments are to be carried out in cooperation with F.A.- Finger - Institute of Bauhaus University Weimar. The aim of this study is to determine possible change of durability of high strength concrete, and to investigate the origin thereof. Measures to reduce the risk of reduced durability have to be found.

Based on engineering practice, autogenous volume deformation and creep properties of C60 high performance concrete(C60 HPC) and C60 high strength concrete(C60 HSC) were evaluated in the study. The results showed that the cement partly-replaced with fly ash could significantly decrease the creep deformation, creep coefficient and creep degree. In comparison with C60 HSC, the creep coefficient and creep degree of C60 HPC were decreased 17.9%and15.8% in 28 days, 22.9% and 21.0% in 270 days. For C60 HPC and C60 HSC at the same age, autogenous volume deformation of C60 HPC is greater than that of C60 HSC, but they were both less than 80×10-6 , and the autogenous volume deformation was basically completed in 7 days.

Introduction: Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an advanced type of concrete in the Civil Engineering industry. It is a cement-based composite which exhibits improved mechanical and durable properties showing a high compressive strength of not less than 150 MPa and high tensile strength of not less than 7 MPa. Objective: In this article, a review of the use of a different type of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) including fibers is made for obtaining the desired UHPC. Discussion and Conclusion: For this, it is vital to understand the principles of UHPC. UHPC has several advantages over normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC) with some commercially ready UHPC’s available, but the use of it is restricted due to the limited design codes. The influence of the curing type also plays a vital role in the overall performance of UHPC.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis that shows the influence of fiber on ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete. The internet scholarly search engines and ScienceDirect article references were used to illustrate the papers concerning the experimental investigations of mechanical properties of ultra-high strength concrete with and without fiber with clearly, completely and comparative raw data. The normal concrete test results were dismissed from this search. Seven trials were identified based on the adopted inclusion and exclusion criteria above. The meta-analysis based on standardized mean difference was carried out on the basis of a fixed-effects model for the major outcomes of the ultimate compressive and tensile properties of ultra-high performance concrete. A total of 888 test specimens were enrolled in these seven trials. The combined analysis yielded a sign of a significant improvement in ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high strength concrete with fiber addition of 2% by concrete volume. The summary effect size of ultimate compressive strength was 2.34 while a more improvement in term of tensile strength with effect size of 2.64. By addition fiber of 2% provides a significant benefit in mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete.

The framework of bridges, buildings, roads etc. need concrete. The concrete which is being used is not able to fulfil the contemporaneous needs. In India High Strength Concrete (HSC) is preferred for manufacturing practices and at the same time High Performance Concrete is used at high level. The properties of HSC are improved like mechanical and durability are improved by using silica fume in concrete. HSC has made the work of construction company more rewarding to design tall, long and light structures. HSC is helpful in designing buildings with good number of floors, wide area bridges and slim structure. The products like fly-ash, copper slag, silica fume etc. are produced by industries which leads to various environmental problems. The experiment on silica was done which stated that no strength is lost in silica-fume concretes. The experiment comprises four levels of silica-fume at the rate of 0%, 5.5%, 8.0%,9.5% and 11.0% which results high strength concrete.
