High Strength Concrete (HSC) is one of the  most popular types of concrete used in the world. This type of concrete has a low rapid  hydration of cementation materials with low  w/cm and the external surrounding  environment condition exposed the HSC to  high autogenous shrinkage. If this shrinkage is  not treated well that well led to cracking, in  this case HSC need to convenient curing  necessary at the earliest time. This study  presents the use of Super Absorbent Polymer  (SAP) as internal curing agent to eliminate  shrinkage. Two types of shrinkage are tested in  this study (Autogenous shrinkage and drying  shrinkage).  Two groups of concrete mixes(A and B) are  studied in this study each group have five types  of concrete mixes, four mixes with high and  ultra-high compressive strength (RPC, MRPC, HSC and SCC) and the last one with normal  compressive strength (NSC). Group A  represent concrete mixes without SAP addition  and group B for concrete mixes with SAP.  SAP was added for all mixes at 0.3% by  weight of cement and adding 20ml water for  each gram of SAP, specimens with dimensions  (40*40*160) mm were used for testing  shrinkage for each mix with and without SAP,  average values for two specimens was taken as  a results. It was found that concrete mixes of  group B have lower shrinkage than the  shrinkage of concrete mixes in group A at 28  days age with reduction of autogenous  shrinkage(AS) of (57%, 35%, 37%, 44.5% and  37.5%) respectively and for drying shrinkage  the percentage of reduction was (89.5%, 72%,  82%, 70% and 71%) respectively, addition of  SAP to concrete mixes proves to have active  effect in reducing the shrinkage of concrete.

In this paper, effects of nano-CaCO3 on compressive strength and Microstructure of high strength concrete in standard curing temperature(21±1°C) and low curing temperature(6.5±1°C) was studied. In order to improve the early strength of the concrete in low temperature, the early strength agent calcium nitrite was added into. Test results indicated that 0.5% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could inhibit the effect of calcium nitrite as early strength agent, but 1% and 2% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could improve the strength of the concrete by 13% and 18% in standard curing temperature and by 17% and 14% in low curing temperature at the age of 3days. According to the XRD spectrum, with the dosage up to 1% to 2%, nano-CaCO3 can change the orientation index significantly, leading to the improvement of strength of concrete both in standard curing temperature and low curing temperature.

Chopped Basalt Fiber

In order to improve the mechanical properties of high strength concrete, HSC, several studies have been conducted using fly ash, FA. Researchers have made it possible to achieve 100-150MPa high strength concrete. Despite the popularity of this FAHSC, there is a major shortcoming in that it becomes more brittle, resulting in less than 0.1% tensile strain. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the fresh and hardened properties of FAHSC utilizing chopped basalt fiber stands, CBFS, as an internal strengthening addition material. This was achieved through a series of experimental works using a 20% replacement of cement by FA together with various contents of CBFS. Test results of concrete mixes in the fresh state showed no segregation, homogeneousness during the mixing period and workability ranging from 60 to 110 mm. Early and long terms of compressive strength did not show any improvement by using CBFS; in fact, it decreased. This was partially substituted by the effect of FA. Whereas, the split and flexural strengths of FASHC were significantly improved with increasing the content of CBFS as well as the percentage of the split and flexural tensile strength to the compressive strength. Also, test results showed a progressive increase in the areas under the stress-strain curves of the FAHSC strains after the CBFS addition. Therefore, the brittleness and toughness of the FAHSC were enhanced and the pattern of failure moved from brittle failure to ductile collapse using CBFS. It can be considered that the CBFS is a suitable strengthening material to produce ductile FAHSC.

Flexural Ductility

High strength concrete (HSC) characterized by high compressive strength but lower ductility compared to normal strength concrete. This low ductility limits the benefit of using HSC in building safe structures. Nanomaterials have gained increased attention because of their improvement of mechanical properties of concrete. In this paper we present an experimental study of the flexural behavior of reinforced beams composed of high-strength concrete and nanomaterials. Eight simply supported rectangular beams were fabricated with identical geometries and reinforcements, and then tested under two third-point loads. The study investigated the concrete compressive strength (50 and 75 N/mm2) as a function of the type of nanomaterial (nanosilica, nanotitanium and nanosilica/nanotitanium hybrid) and the nanomaterial concentration (0%, 0.5% and 1.0%). The experimental results showed that nano particles can be very effective in improving compressive and tensile strength of HSC, nanotitanium is more effective than nanosilica in compressive strength. Also, binary usage of hybrid mixture (nanosilica + nanotitanium) had a remarkable improvement appearing in compressive and tensile strength than using the same percentage of single type of nanomaterials used separately. The reduction in flexural ductility due to the use of higher strength concrete can be compensated by adding nanomaterials. The percentage of concentration, concrete grade and the type of nanomaterials, could predominantly affect the flexural behavior of HSRC beams.

This study used the ultrasonic pulse velocity method, one of the non-destructive test methods that does not damage the building for maintenance of to-be-constructed concrete structures using recycled aggregates in order to estimate the compressive strength of high strength concrete structure using recycled coarse aggregate and provide elementary resources for technological establishment of ultrasonic pulse velocity method. 200 test pieces of high strength concrete 40, 50MPa using recycled coarse aggregate were manufactured by replacement rates (0, 30, 50, 100%) and age (1, 7, 28, 180days), and air curing was executed to measure compressive strength and wave velocity. As the result of compressive strength measurement, the one with age of 180day and design strength of 40MPa was 43.69MPa, recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate of 30% 50% 100% were 42.82, 41.22, 37.35MPa, and 50MPa was 52.50MPa, recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate of 30% 50% 100% were 49.02, 46.66, 45.30MPa, and while it could be seen that the test piece substituted with recycled aggregate was found to have lower strength than the test piece with natural aggregate only, but it still reached the design strength to a degree. The correlation of compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity was found and regression analysis was conducted. The estimation formula for compressive strength of high strength concrete using recycled coarse aggregate was found to be Fc=0.069Vp4.05, R2=0.66
