An experimental program was directed in this study to evaluate the abrasion resistance of reactive powder concrete (RPC) under direct normal impact of water jet. Abrasion and compressive strength specimens were cast from six RPC mixtures using different single and hybrid distributions of 6 mm-length and 15 mm-length micros-steel fibers and 18 mm-length polypropylene fiber. Fixed mix proportions were used for the six RPC mixtures and with fixed total volumetric fiber content of 2.5%. In addition to the RPC mixtures, a normal concrete mixture was prepared for comparison purposes. All specimens were cured in the same conditions and tested at an age of 28 days. The test results showed that abrasion weight losses increase with time at rates that are independent of fiber type and fiber distribution. The results also showed that all RPC mixtures exhibited significantly lower abrasion losses than normal concrete. The lowest percentage abrasion weight losses were recorded for the mixture with pure 15 mm micro-steel, where after 12 testing hours, it was 0.41% of the total weight before testing. On the other hand, the mixture with pure 6 mm micro-steel fiber exhibited the highest percentage abrasion weight loss (0.98%) among the six RPC mixtures. Another conclusion is that the inclusion of polypropylene fiber to compose hybrid fiber distribution with micro-steel fiber led mostly to lower abrasion losses.

In this research, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete columns made of normal and hybrid reactive powder concrete (hybrid by steel and polypropylene fibers) subjected to chloride salts with concentration was 8341.6 mg/l. The study consists of two parts, the first one is experimental study and the second one is theoretical analysis.  Three main variables were adopted in the experimental program; concrete type, curing type and loading arrangement. Twenty (120x120x1200) mm columns were cast and tested depending on these variables. The samples were reinforced using two different bars; Ø8 for ties and Ø12 with minimum longitudinal reinforcement (0.01Ag). The specimens were divided into two main groups based on curing type: The first group consists of casting and testing of ten columns that cured in tap water for 28 days with two types of concrete (normal and hybrid), five columns for each type. While the second group consists of ten columns that direct cured and fully immersed in chloride water (8341.6 mg/l) 6 months with two types of concrete (normal and hybrid), five columns for each type. The specimens were tested under three types of loading, the first one is axial load, the second one is eccentric load with three different eccentricities (50,100 and 150) mm and where (e/h) are (0.42, 0.83 and 1.25) respectively from the center of column while the third type of loading is tested the specimens as beam. The experimental results showed an increase in ultimate load capacity and higher chlorides resisting for hybrid reactive powder concrete in comparison with normal concrete in both types of curing (tap and chloride water) through studying strain profile. Interaction diagram charts were obtained from different types of loading for each specimen. These charts showed high values for hybrid reactive powder concrete in comparison with normal concrete.

Abstract Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is unique of the present and greatest significant improvements in constructions field, it has usual excessive kindness happening current duration in the world owing toward its higher concrete properties, great ductility, durability, shrinkage, great opposition to corrosion and abrasion. In this experimental investigation is carried out on the way to revision the RPC flexural activity with Hybrid Segment T- Beams and the mechanical characteristics of this building material. In order to analyze the belongings of steel fiber volumetric ratio, silica fume ratio, tensile steel ratio, hybrid section on RPC T-beam flexural efficiency, the experimental program included testing five beams. The study was focused on determining the load-deflection behavior, letdown mode, strain supply across the depth of the beams and crack pattern at failure. The results of the volumetric ratio of steel fibers and the silica fume ratio were also considered in studying the mechanical properties of RPC mixes. Moreover, a study of hybrid beams showed that use of RPC web and normal concrete in flange efficiently improves the performance of T-beams compared to normal concrete T-beams with a percentage rise of 12 percent and hybrid beams have also shown that the use of RPC flange and normal concrete in web efficiently improves the display of T-beams associated to regular concrete T-beams with percentages increase of 28%.

The growth of Development techniques for high strength materials and precast structures leads to increase the interesting on these technics. This study will focus on the corbels which made from high strength materials (Reactive Powder Concrete materials) which including  the testing of (15 samples) and their cost, twelve of them were testing under a vertical monotonic load, while the other sample putted under the effect of repeated load. As well as, the samples divided to various groups according to many variable parameters which are (ratio of steel fiber, (a/d) ratio, existing the secondary stirrups steel, type of loading). Thus, these parameters effected on the ultimate shear strength, first crack loading, ultimate deflection, load-deflection curves, ductility and stiffness.

In this investigation the effect of large web opening on the on the behaver of beams made by normal concrete (NC) and reactive powder concrete (RPC) have been studied. The experimental work consists of casting and testing in flexure 12 rectangular simply supported reinforced concrete beams. The main parameters of this test are opening locations and normal concrete and RPC location with is the section. The ultimate loads, cracking loads, load -deflection behavior, skew of the openings (deflection at the two opposite corners of openings) and ductility were discussed. These results showed that increase ultimate loads (Pu) and stiffness by increase RPC layers. The using RPC layers increase ultimate load about (1-30) %. Using RPC in compression fiber is found to be more effective than using RPC in tension fiber. The cracking load of hybrid beam with one layer of RPC in compression fiber (having one opening) higher than NC beams by 48.5%. The ultimate strength was decreases with increases opening about (4-21)%, thus indicating that the stiffness decreases accordingly. Hybrid beams with RPC in tension fiber failed with less crack than those for hybrid beams with RPC in compression fiber at the same number of openings. The skew at opening of flexural zone show greater values than the skew at opening in shear zone for each beam until failure. The increase in the number of openings leads to increase in the ductility because it reduces the strength of beams.
