In this paper, effects of nano-CaCO3 on compressive strength and Microstructure of high strength concrete in standard curing temperature(21±1°C) and low curing temperature(6.5±1°C) was studied. In order to improve the early strength of the concrete in low temperature, the early strength agent calcium nitrite was added into. Test results indicated that 0.5% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could inhibit the effect of calcium nitrite as early strength agent, but 1% and 2% dosage of nano-CaCO3 could improve the strength of the concrete by 13% and 18% in standard curing temperature and by 17% and 14% in low curing temperature at the age of 3days. According to the XRD spectrum, with the dosage up to 1% to 2%, nano-CaCO3 can change the orientation index significantly, leading to the improvement of strength of concrete both in standard curing temperature and low curing temperature.

Reactive Powder

The explosive spalling of high-strength concrete due to fire is a problem that has garnered increasingly widespread attention, particularly the explosive spalling of reactive powder concrete (RPC). For years, based on the vapor pressure mechanism, the addition of fibers has been demonstrated to be somewhat effective in protecting against spalling. However, relevant experiments indicate that fibers are not effective for dense concrete, which is a challenge for the simple vapor pressure mechanism in providing spalling resistance for RPC. The authors found that silica fume plays an important role in the explosive spalling of RPC. Thus, four classes of RPCs with different ratios of silica fume were prepared, and the spalling phenomena and the inner temperature distribution during heating were investigated. The results show that silica fume content has a prominent effect on the spalling process of RPC.

The 68-storey Scotia Plaza tower in Toronto is an outstanding example of the use of concrete technology to achieve high-performance high-strength concrete. Cementitious hydraulic slag, silica fume, and a superplasticizer were combined with CSA type-10 Portland cement and high-quality aggregates to produce very workable high-strength concrete. During the course of construction, data were published suggesting the possibility of the strength regression of some silica fume concretes after long exposure to low humidity, the determinations being made on standard test cylinders. Tests were, therefore, made at ages of 1 year and 2 years on specimens drilled from columns in the structure. This technical note gives details of the laboratory examination and testing of these specimens. Key words: high strength, slag, silica fume, permeability, rapid chloride permeability, petrographic examination, superplasticizers.

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.
