Satisfactory Prediction

The brittleness and easiness to crack expose marine concrete to serious durability issues. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), as a new generation of ultra high performance concrete, is expected to overcome the strain-softening properties of traditional concrete and realize function of crack-width control. In this paper, the sulfate erosion of ECC under drying-wetting cycles was modelled in laboratory test. And the compression test on cylinders after exposure to different erosion cycles was implemented to obtain the stress-strain properties. The results disclose that sulfate erosion imposes significant influence on both the nonlinear ascending and descending portions of the stress-strain properties of ECC. As the erosion period extended, ECC strength undergoes an obvious increase. And the descending section of the eroded ECC shows a significant stress drop, which is quite different from that before erosion. Additionally, a simple analytical model was proposed to provide satisfactory prediction of the stress-strain properties of ECC exposed to sulfate erosion.

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC), which has very special properties that are remarkably different to the properties of normal and high performance concrete, is being increasingly used for the construction of structure. In this paper, an experimental program was formulated to investigate the characteristics of complete stress-strain curve of UHPC in uniaxial compression and flexural behaviors of prestressed UHPC beams. The particular focus was the influence of the partial prestress ratio and jacking stress on the flexural response of UHPC beams. The results show that UHPC is of good deformability, and a general form of the serpentine curve is proposed to represent the complete stress-strain relationship of UHPC in compression. The tests of beams demonstrated that the UHPC beams have an excellent behavior in load carrying capacity, crack distribution and deformability, their ultimate deflection can reach 1/34～1/70 of the span. Based on this investigation, theoretical correlations for the prediction structure response of UHPC beam are proposed.

Spalling Failure

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) incorporating coarse aggregate was prepared with common raw materials. Fresh concrete had excellent good workability with slump of 265 mm and slump spread of 673 mm. Compressive strength of UHPC at 56 d reached 150 MPa. However, UHPC exhibited high brittleness in terms of spalling failure which occurred during compression loading.The ratio of splitting tensile strength to compressive strength of about 1/18 and the ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength of about 1/14 at 56 d were also associated with the brittleness of UHPC in this research. Mineral admixtures and fluidity of fresh concrete influenced compressive strength of UHPC significantly. Moreover, UHPC had excellent permeation-related durability but considerable shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage of UHPC was less than half of free shrinkage, for which the reason is unknown and needs further research.

Abstract This current study attempts to investigate the mechanical, durability as well as rheology properties of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with low cement content and using coarse aggregate. The cement content used in UHPC mix in current study was 800 kg/m3. The slump flow, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, water absorption and water penetration tests were conducted to determine the workability, mechanical and durability properties of explored UHPC mixture. The test results show that the above properties were exceptional and comparable with other UHPC mixtures.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has the inherent potential to self-sensing capability due to its inclusion of steel fibers or other electrically conductive materials. Many studies have investigated the electrical and piezoresistive properties of UHPC. With the incorporation of micro steel fibers, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibrils, or nano graphite platelets, it opens up great potential to allow UHPC to effectively sense stress, strain, and crack damage. Therefore, the UHPC-based structures can achieve the functionality of structure health monitoring (SHM). This article reviews the recent advances in self-sensing capability of various UHPC-based materials with the focus on sensing capability and mechanisms. Future applications and challenges are also discussed.

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the compressive strength and workability of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) which yields a slump at 250 ± 20mm and a slump flow at 650 ± 50mm. From the complete stress-strain curve, it shows the peak strain will be higher while the strength increases. Two kinds of the post failure models can be distinguished. The first type (Type I) is called strain softening and the second type (Type II) is called strain snapping back. Also, it is found that the modulus of elasticityEcdecreases as the volume of cementitious pasteVpincreases. On the other hand, Poisson's ratio ν increases asVpincreases.
