This study undertook the research of size effect on compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, respectively. The parameters of this study are curing age and fly ash replacement ratio to investigate size effect of Type A (100mm x 200mm) and Type B (150mm x 300mm) specimens in high performance concrete. On this study, high performance concrete was fabricated with different FA contents of 10%, 20% and 30%. The measurements were performed on days 28 and 91.

The demand for High Performance Concrete (HPC) is steadily increasing with massive developments. Conventionally, it is possible to use industrial products such as silica fume (SF), fly ash, as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), to enhance the attributes of HPC. In recent years, nano-silica (NS) is used as an additive in added mainly to fill up the deviation arises with the addition of SF for HPC. This study aims to optimize the proportion of NS (produced in Vietnam) in the mixture used for fabricating 70 MPa high-performance concrete. SiO2 powder with particle size from 10 to 15 nm were used for mixing. A series of compressive strength test of HPC with nano-SiO2 varied from 0 to 2.8 percent of total of all binders (0%, 1.2%, 2%, 2.8%), and the fixed percentage of silica fume at 8% were proposed. Results show compressive strength increases with the increase of nano-SiO2, but this increase stops after reaching 2%. And at day 28 of the curing period, only concrete mixture containing of 8% silica fume and 2% nano-SiO2, had the highest compressive strength.

In this study, some experimental investigations on the development of mechanical properties with age of high performance concrete (HPC) incorporated with blast furnace slag with fly ash or silica fume have been reported. Four different blended HPC were prepared in 0.40 water-binder ratio. At every four mixtures, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity at 7 and 28 days have been observed for HPC developments. Consequently, only replacement of silica fume significantly increases the mechanical properties in terms of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.

This experimental work evaluates the relationship between compressive strength and modulus of Elasticity of self-consolidating High performance concrete (SCHPC) containing high volume of Groundnut Shell Ash (GSA) up to 40% substitution as SCM. A total of 210 specimens of the GSA blended SCHPCs comprising 105 cubes (100 x100 mm) and 105 cylinders (150x300 mm) were cured in water for 7,14,28 ,56, 92,120 and 180 days hydration periods and the compressive strength and Modulus of elasticity determined. The linear relationships were studied with regression analysis. The findings revealed that all the mixes met the Modulus of Elasticity values requirement of 18,000N/mm2 to 42,000N/mm2 and the compressive results show that three substitution levels of 0%, 10% and 20% attained the proposed design strength (40-130 Mpa) and also satisfied the requirement for self-consolidating and high strength concretes. In conclusion, 0%-20% GSA substitutions (SCHPCA0-SCHPCA20) indicated a strong linear relationship with regressions values obtained varies between 0.842 and 0.954 for the two variables. Addition of GSA as SCM has improved the mechanical properties of SCHPC and creates a strong relationship between the compressive strength and Modulus of Elasticity.

High performance concrete M60 cubes of 150 mm X 150 mm X 150 mm were tested experimentally under static loading. With the variation in the water binder ratios of 0.25, 0.28, 0.33, 0.39 and hyper plasticizer of 0.6%. 0.8%. 1.0%, 1.2% the cubes were cast and accordingly the cylinders were cast. For each ratio of water binder, 12 cubes and 2 cylinders were cast. Out of 12 cubes, 3 cubes were cured for 7 days, 3cubes for 15 days, 3 cubes for 21 days and the balance 3 cubes for 28 days. All the cubes were tested in a 2000kn compression testing machine. The load deflection curves, stress- strain curves were drawn for each cube and cylinder. The average compressive strength of each mix for different number of days of curing were calculated. The modulus of elasticity was calculated for each design mix.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the freeze-thaw resistance, one of the most important durability indicators, of high-performance concrete made of fibers (nylon and polypropylene), AE agent, viscosity agent, and fly ash, an industrial by-product. While FN-1 showed the best freeze-thaw resistance with an about 2.8% relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, PV-2 showed the worst results, with an about 7.4% modulus, in comparison tests with GC. Most of the test samples showed better compressive strength than GC. Especially, N-1 showed the greatest compressive strength increase of 8%. Also, the test samples mixed with FA and PP showed a 2-4% compressive strength increase effect.

The 100 x 200 mm cylinder specimens are standard size to measure the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. However, it is not enough for experimental data of mechanical properties of HPC about size effect. The aim of this study is to investigate the size effect of high performance concrete (HPC) using blast furnace slag (BS) for mechanical properties such as, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. Therefore, in this study, Type A (100 x 200 mm cylinder specimens) and Type B (150 x 300 cylinder specimens) were prepared. Blast furnace slag is used as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The compressive strength, modulus of elasticity of harden concrete were determined in the laboratory.

In order to study the effect of the fraction of PVA fiber on the axial compressive strength and flexural properties of high performance concrete, a series of tests have been conducted in this study. The middle span deflection was measured by a micrometer with dial indicator, and six different concrete mixes have been chosen. Flexural properties include flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity. The mechanism of PVA fiber acting on axial compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus of elasticity has been analyzed in details. The results indicate that there is a tendency of increase in the axial compressive strength and flexural strength when the fiber volume fraction is below 0.08%, and the flexural modulus of elasticity of high-performance concrete decrease gradually with the increase of fiber volume fraction.
