The hybridization of fibers for arresting the crack in concrete is a key factor and play an important role to improve mechanical properties of high performance concrete with respect to mono fibers. The effect of hybridization of hooked end steel fibers with different length and diameter on mechanical properties of high strength concrete was investigated in this research work. The different percentages of hook ended fibers (60 mm and 40 mm) are hybridized in the concrete mixture while keeping total percentage of fibers by volume equal to 1%. The compressive and flexural properties with complete load verses deflection curves of hybrid steel fiber reinforced high performance concrete were investigated to find the optimized dosage of hybrid steel fibers. The results showed that the hybridization of fiber provided better compressive and flexural performance. It was also observed from the results that combination of 65% of 60 mm and 35% of 40 mm hooked end fibers proved to be best for enhancement in compressive and flexural properties.

Factors Influencing

Abstract Variable obsen>ations concerning frost resistance of high performance concrete have been made. The question arises which are the decisive factors influencing durability under the action of frost and de-icing salt. The proposed experiments are to be carried out in cooperation with F.A.- Finger - Institute of Bauhaus University Weimar. The aim of this study is to determine possible change of durability of high strength concrete, and to investigate the origin thereof. Measures to reduce the risk of reduced durability have to be found.

Based on engineering practice, autogenous volume deformation and creep properties of C60 high performance concrete(C60 HPC) and C60 high strength concrete(C60 HSC) were evaluated in the study. The results showed that the cement partly-replaced with fly ash could significantly decrease the creep deformation, creep coefficient and creep degree. In comparison with C60 HSC, the creep coefficient and creep degree of C60 HPC were decreased 17.9％and15.8％ in 28 days, 22.9% and 21.0% in 270 days. For C60 HPC and C60 HSC at the same age, autogenous volume deformation of C60 HPC is greater than that of C60 HSC, but they were both less than 80×10-6 , and the autogenous volume deformation was basically completed in 7 days.

Micro Level

The high strength concrete exhibits improved compressive strength with drawback of brittle failure due to lack of tensile strength which can be catered by the addition of fibers. The efficient use of fibers with hybridization at macro and micro level can improve mechanical properties of high strength concrete. The effect of hybridization of hooked end steel macro fibers (60 mm) and PVA micro fibers (12 mm) with different dosages was investigated in this research work. The different percentage of steel and PVA were hybridized to find out the best combination of hybridized fibers in high strength concrete. The compressive and flexural properties of high strength concrete along with complete load vs deflection behaviour of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete were investigated. The results revealed that hybridization of macro and micro fibers provided better improvement in flexural performance. It was observed from the results that the hybrid combination of fibers of 1% macro steel fiber and 0.15% micro PVA fibers proved to be the best for enhancement in flexural performance of high strength concrete.

Ultra High Performance Concrete

The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis that shows the influence of fiber on ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete. The internet scholarly search engines and ScienceDirect article references were used to illustrate the papers concerning the experimental investigations of mechanical properties of ultra-high strength concrete with and without fiber with clearly, completely and comparative raw data. The normal concrete test results were dismissed from this search. Seven trials were identified based on the adopted inclusion and exclusion criteria above. The meta-analysis based on standardized mean difference was carried out on the basis of a fixed-effects model for the major outcomes of the ultimate compressive and tensile properties of ultra-high performance concrete. A total of 888 test specimens were enrolled in these seven trials. The combined analysis yielded a sign of a significant improvement in ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high strength concrete with fiber addition of 2% by concrete volume. The summary effect size of ultimate compressive strength was 2.34 while a more improvement in term of tensile strength with effect size of 2.64. By addition fiber of 2% provides a significant benefit in mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete.

The framework of bridges, buildings, roads etc. need concrete. The concrete which is being used is not able to fulfil the contemporaneous needs. In India High Strength Concrete (HSC) is preferred for manufacturing practices and at the same time High Performance Concrete is used at high level. The properties of HSC are improved like mechanical and durability are improved by using silica fume in concrete. HSC has made the work of construction company more rewarding to design tall, long and light structures. HSC is helpful in designing buildings with good number of floors, wide area bridges and slim structure. The products like fly-ash, copper slag, silica fume etc. are produced by industries which leads to various environmental problems. The experiment on silica was done which stated that no strength is lost in silica-fume concretes. The experiment comprises four levels of silica-fume at the rate of 0%, 5.5%, 8.0%,9.5% and 11.0% which results high strength concrete.

ABSTRACT This study evaluated Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) of two different designs of high-performance concrete beam: (1) a single-layer beam (SLB) that consisted of steel fibered high-strength concrete in both the compression and tensile zones and (2) a two-layer beam (TLB) that consisted of steel fibered high-strength concrete and normal-strength concrete in the compression and tensile zones, respectively. The SLB and steel fibered high-strength concrete layer of the TLB were of the same concrete class C70/85. LCAs of the SLB and TLB were conducted using the ReCiPe2016 midpoint and endpoint-single-score methods. The difference between the two endpoint-single-score results was evaluated using a two-stage nested analysis of variance. The ReCiPe2016 midpoint results showed that replacing the SLB with the TLB reduces the environmental impact of global warming potential, terrestrial ecotoxicity, water consumption, and scarcity of fossil resources by 15%, 17%, 11%, and 17%, respectively. The ReCiPe2016 endpoint-single-score results showed that the environmental damage from the TLB compared to the SLB was statistically reduced (p = 0.0256). Therefore, considering two different designs of steel fibered high-strength concrete beams, the TLB design was found environmentally preferable to SLB design on both, midpoint and endpoint-single-score evaluations.

The high strength and high performance concrete C80~C100 is popularly used nowadays, especially in the West-Tower Project of Gungzhou. In order to provide reference for the use of high strength concrete and the development of ultrahigh pumping technology, the following six aspects were studied, namely the preparation of high strength concrete, the variation of the concrete mixture under high pressure, the index of the ultrahigh pumping concrete, the change after the pumping, the loss of the pumping pressure and the measurement of the pumping viscous resistance.

Long Term Observation

High strength concrete for the production of concrete railway sleepers was designed more than 20 years ago. The compressive strength of the concrete was very high from the start, but flexure strengths showed some irregular development - a decrease in time. Later, also a significant decrease of fracture properties was recorded. Microcracking was found to be the reason for this; therefore some modifications were performed to avoid this happening (especially the reduction of the maximum size of aggregates from 22 mm to 16 mm or 11 mm). Some problems concerning frost resistance of the concrete with a slag addition were reduced by applying ternary binders. All of the results are discussed from the point of view of a long-term observation of the strengths and fracture properties ́ development during the time period of 5 years or even more.
