Set Up

This paper aimed to investigate the mechanical characteristics of HSC of M60 concrete adding 25% of fly ash to cement and sand and percentage variations of silica fumes 0%,5% and 10% to cement with varying sizes of 10mm,6mm,2mm and powder of granite aggregate with w/c of 0.32. Specimens are tested for compressive strength using 10cm X 10cmX10cm cubes for 7,14,28 days flexural strength was determined by using 10cmX10cmX50cm beam specimens at 28 days and 15cm diameter and 30cm height cylinder specimens at 28 days using super plasticizers of conplast 430 as a water reducing agent. In this paper the experimental set up is made to study the mechanical properties of HSC with and without coarse aggregate with varying sizes as 10mm, 6mm, 2mm and powder. Similarly, the effect of silica fume on HSC by varying its percentages as 0%, 5% and 10% in the mix studied. For all mixes 25% extra fly ash has been added for cement and sand.

This study is based on determination of the freeze-thaw resistance of air-entrained and non-air-entrained normal strength concrete (NC) and high strength concrete (HSC) produced with fly ash and silica fume according to surface scaling. The procedure allows us to measure the amount of scaling per unit surface area due to a number of well defined freezing and thawing cycles in the presence of deicing salt. The weight loss, surface scaling, moisture uptake, and internal damage were measured after 0 and after every 4th freeze-thaw cycle. The test results showed that the freeze-thaw resistance is influenced directly by the compressive strength property of the concrete. Silica fume significantly reduced the resistance of normal strength concrete against freeze-thaw effect without plasticizing agent. The surface scaling of silica fume concrete without admixture was 22% higher than reference normal concrete.

Freeze Thaw

The Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a very promising material suitable for application in special structures. However, the knowledge of performance of this relatively new material is rather limited. The exceptional mechanical properties of UHPC allow for a modification of the design rules, which are applicable in ordinary or high strength concrete. This paper deals in more detail with impact of thermal stress on bond properties between prestressing strands and UHPC and an influence of high temperature to final material properties of different UHPC mixtures. Specimens in the first experimental part were subjected to the cycling freeze-thaw testing. The relationship between bond behavior of both type of material (UHPC and ordinary concrete) and effect of cycling freeze-thaw tests was investigated. The second part of experimental work was focused on mechanical properties of UHPC exposure to the high temperature (Tmax = 200°C to Tmax = 1000°C). Tested mechanical properties were compressive and flexural strengths, the fracture properties will be presented in the next paper. The obtained experimental data serve as a basis for further systematic experimental verification and more accurate information about the significantly higher material properties of UHP(FR)C and its behavior in extreme conditions.

To study the mechanical properties of RPC performance and freeze-thaw resistance，through the experimental study discussed the water-cement ratio, silica fume cement ratio, steel fiber content, curing system and other factors on the mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete and anti-freezing properties. Research indicates that many factors in the RPC, the water cement ratio is the most important factor, followed by the silica fume cement ratio, finally the steel fiber content, and curing system for the growth of its early strength also have a greater role.
