Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a special concrete mixture with outstanding mechanical and durability characteristics. It is a mixture of portland cement, supplementary cementitious materials, sand, and high-strength, high-aspect-ratio microfibers. In this paper, the authors propose flexural design guidelines for precast, prestressed concrete members made with concrete mixtures developed by precasters to meet minimum specific characteristics qualifying it to be called PCI-UHPC. Minimum specified cylinder strength is 10 ksi (69 MPa) at prestress release and 18 ksi (124 MPa) at the time the member is placed in service, typically 28 days. Minimum flexural cracking and tensile strengths of 1.5 and 2 ksi (10 and 14 MPa), respectively, according to ASTM C1609 testing specifications are required. In addition, strain-hardening and ductility requirements are specified. Tensile properties are shown to be more important for structural optimization than cylinder strength. Both building and bridge products are considered because the paper is focused on capacity rather than demand. Both service limit state and strength limit state are covered. When the contribution of fibers to capacity should be included and when they may be ignored is shown. It is further shown that the traditional equivalent rectangular stress block in compression can still be used to produce satisfactory results in prestressed concrete members. A spreadsheet workbook is offered online as a design tool. It is valid for multilayers of concrete of different strengths, rows of reinforcing bars of different grades, and prestressing strands. It produces moment-curvature diagrams and flexural capacity at ultimate strain. A fully worked-out example of a 250 ft (76.2 m) span decked I-beam of optimized shape is given.

The main objective of using strengthening of pre fab slab by wraping with frp to to make it more durable during shock as a modification for the prevention of shrinkage cracks. The aim of research is to strengthening of Pre-fab structures slab using glass fiber reinforced composites. Slabs will act as structural members; provide a sensible application for the new material because they can be casted as load bearing and non-load bearing concrete members.

The interfacial behaviour and adsorption equilibria of mono-, di-, and triphosphate of inosine (IMP, IDP, and ITP) were carried out in different buffer solutions by phase-sensitive ac voltammetry at HMDE. The characteristic properties and adsorption parameters of dilute and compact layers were evaluated from the obtained Frumkin isotherm at different pH values. The effect of some divalent metal ions on the adsorption stage and association of the investigated compounds has been studied.
