The mechanical properties of high strength concrete(HSC) were experimentally investigated under mixed erosion and freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM C666(Procedure B), the erosion solution was mixed by weight of 3% sodium chloride and 5% sodium sulfate. The mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and other relative data were measured. The results showed that with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface scaled more seriously; the mass loss, compressive strength and elastic modulus continued to decrease; the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased slightly in the first 225 freeze-thaw cycles, then decreased in the following 75 cycles; the corresponding strain to peak stress decreased with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. After 200 cycles, the rate of deterioration of concrete accelerated obviously.

Abstract This experimental investigation is aimed to develop an ultra-high strength concrete with minimum of 100 MPa as compressive strength.In order to obtain this, twenty different concrete mixes have been tried, using cement, river sand, coarse aggregate, water, silica fume and super plasticizer. During the preparation of trial mixes of concrete, the water / binder ratio of 0.2, silica fume of 10% to the weight of cement, super plasticizer of 10 litres per cubic metre of concrete and coarse aggregate of 1000 kg/m3 were kept as constant. The amount of cement content (as 600-, 650-, 700-, 750- and 800 kg/m3) and the fine aggregate content (as 500-, 600-, 700- and 800 kg/m3) was varied. Totally 300 specimens were cast and tested in this investigation.The100 x 100 x 100 mm size of cubes, 150 x 300 mm size of cylinders, 100 x 100 x 500 mm size of prisms, 100 x 200 mm size of cylinders, 60 x 100 mm size of cylinders were used to test compressive, split tensile, flexural strength, chloride penetration and water penetration tests respectively at the age of 7-, 14- and 28 days. Based on the test results, a suitable mix proportion to produce an ultra-high strength concrete has been identified. Subsequently, from this investigation, the maximum cube compressive strength of 130 MPa, split tensile strength of 6.94 MPa, flexural strength of 21.39 MPa, chloride penetration 36 Coulombs which is lesser than 100 and sorptivity coefficient valueof 0.582 has been achieved.
