This paper presents the experimental findings of a study on the influence of combining usage of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the performance of high-strength concrete (HSC) subjected to elevated temperatures. In this study, four types of HSC formulations were prepared: HSC made from cement and fly ash (FA), HSC made from cement and ultra-fine fly ash (UFFA), HSC made from cement and UFFA-metakaolin (MK), and HSC made from cement and FA-UFFA-MK. Mechanical and physical properties of HSC subjected to high temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) were studied. Furthermore, the relation between residual compressive strength and physical properties (loss mass, water absorption, and porosity) of HSC was developed. Results showed that the combined usage of SCMs had limited influence on the early-age strength of HSC, while the 28-d strength had been significantly affected. At 1000 °C, the residual compressive strength retained 18.7 MPa and 23.9 MPa for concretes containing 30% UFFA-5% MK and 10% FA-20% UFFA-5% MK, respectively. The specimen containing FA-UFFA-MK showed the best physical properties when the temperature raised above 600 °C. Combined usage of SCMs (10% FA-20% UFFA-5% MK) showed the lowest mass loss (9.2%), water absorption (10.9%) and porosity (28.6%) at 1000 °C. There was a strongly correlated relation between residual strength and physical properties of HSC exposed to elevated temperatures.

Strength And Durability

Abstract Increased utilization of cement in recent construction techniques leads to the global gas emission and involves high cost. Many researchers investigated the incorporation of pozzolanic materials in the cement in order to reduce its notorious effects on the environment which directed this research in order to develop high strength concrete by partially replacing supplementary cementitious materials with the cement. This study represents the experimental investigation on concrete which is blended with class F fly ash and silica fume in order to obtain high strength concrete. For this purpose, silica fume is used in 6%, 9% fly ash is replaced with 30%,40% and 50% by weight of cement. The specimens were subjected to curing up to 90 days and conducted tests in order to determine the mechanical properties like compressive strength, flexural strength and durability properties like RCPT and UPV. Based on the experimental results, addition of 6% silica fume and fly ash at 30% replacement is high strength attainment as well as durability in the concrete.

Water Transport Properties

Pozzolanic materials and their usage in concrete production are nowadays widely spread. Their application as additives is inherent especially for the purpose of high strength concrete. This article deals with evaluation and comparison of the influence of two different supplementary cementitious materials on the properties of high strength concrete: natural pozzolana (NP) and finely crushed brick (FCB). The studied characteristics are basic physical properties with connection to mechanical parameters, and next to this, characterization of water transport. In the scope of this study results revealed better pertinence of finely crushed brick, as the appropriate replacement of cement was found out to be up to 30%, whilst for natural pozzolana only 10% of cement substitution is favourable. The open porosity as the first indicator of both mechanical and water transport properties appeared to be lower in all studied mixtures with FCB than in the case of NP. With increasing ratio of the additive to cement there is significant worsening of mechanical and water transport parameters when NP is involved. The behaviour of mixtures with FCB is better even when high amount of cement is substituted.

Urbanization and industrialization have dramatically increased the manufacture of cement causing substantial pollution of the environment. The primary global concern related to cement manufacture has been the management of the large carbon footprints. The usages of environmentally friendly cementitious materials in the construction of structures have proved to be a viable option to deal with this environmental concern. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the usage of cementitious materials which can replace cement albeit partially. In this direction of research, two such cementitious materials, namely, natural zeolite and metakaolin have been investigated in this study. High-strength concrete M60 with natural zeolite and metakaolin as the partial replacements for the cement has been prepared in this work. Polycarboxylic ether-based superplasticizer solution has been used to enhance workability. The test specimen cast and cured for 3, 7, 28, 60, and 90 days at ambient room temperature has been tested for compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength as per the Indian standards. The optimum mix of high-strength concrete thus manufactured has met the Indian standards, and the combination of cement +5% natural zeolite +10% metakaolin has exhibited the highest compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths at 90 days of curing. Natural zeolite and metakaolin when used in smaller proportions have increased the concrete strength, and these materials are recommended for partial replacement of cement.

The mechanical properties of C100 high-strength concrete used for frozen shaft were studied in this research. The results demonstrate that: The cementitious materials 570kg/m3 concrete 28 strength is only 104.5MPa, which is lower than the C100 requirements; the early strength (3d) of the concrete doped with 30% admixture is less than 20% admixture concrete, but with the age increase, its strength gradually reaches close to concrete doped with 20% admixture, and eventually exceeds the concrete doped with 20% admixture.The tension-compression of high strength concrete doped with 15% fly ash and 15% slag is the smallest, while the tension-compression of the concrete doped 10% fly ash and 10% slag reaches the maximum.The Poisson's ratio of C100 concrete is between 0.20 and 0.24; the compressive elastic modulus is about 50GPa; and the tensile elastic modulus is about 110GPa.
