High Range

The ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has very special properties that are expressively different of normal concrete. Due to its high compression strength greater than 150 MPa, tensile strength greater than 20 MPa and improved durability, these represent significant advances in concrete technology. These materials include Portland cement, silica fume, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high-range water-reducer, water and either steel or organic fibres. Depending on the type of fibres used can influence the compressive strength. The article describes the tests of frost resistance on UHPC plates with different types of textiles armatures. The aim of the testing is describe influence of textiles armatures in UHPC matrix in extreme conditions.

Strength And Durability

This paper seeks to optimize the mechanical and durability properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). To meet this objective, concrete specimens were manufactured by using 1100 kg/m3 of binder, water/binder ratio 0.20, silica sand and last generation of superplasticizer. Silica fume, metakaolin and two types of nano silica were used for improving the performances of the concrete. Additional mixtures included 13 mm long OL steel fibers. Compressive strength, electrical resistivity, mercury intrusion porosimetry tests, and differential and thermogravimetric thermal analysis were carried out. The binary combination of nano silica and metakaolin, and the ternary combination of nano silica with metakaolin and silica fume, led to the best performances of the UHPC, both mechanical and durable performances.
