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.

<p>Reactive powder concrete (RPC) merupakan varian baru dari beton mutu ultra tingggi (ultra high strength concrete) yang diperkenalkan kepada umum pertama kali pada tahun 1994. Beton modern ini memiliki beberapa keunggulan dibandingkan beton konvensional (normal concrete) atau beton kinerja tinggi (high performance concretes). Penelitian tentang RPC di Indonesi masih sangat terbatas, RPC pertama bermaterial lokal Indonesia dikembangkan tahun 2009, dengan sumber silika berasal dari silica fume. Sebagai bagian dari berbagai penelitian lanjutan tentang RPC, hasil akhir dari riset ini diharapkan dapat menghasilkan RPC yang benar-benar sesuai dengan karakteristik material di Indonesia. Sumber silika yang digunakan berasal dari limbah bahan organik sehingga dapat menekan biaya produksi dan menghasilan green concrete yang dapat mengurangi dampak negatif limbah terhadap lingkungan.</p><p><strong>Kata kunci:</strong> Reactive Powder Concrete, Silika, Limbah Bahan Organik</p>

This research include the study of flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams with and without addition of super absorbent polymer (SAP) to concrete, two groups of concrete mixture were used; each one have five concrete mixture (Reactive Powder Concrete RPC, Modified Reactive Powder Concrete, Self Compact Concrete SCC, High Strength Concrete HSC and Normal Strength Concrete NSC) four of them with high compressive strength and the last one with normal compressive strength. Group A casting concrete without addition of SAP, group B casting concrete with addition of SAP. Ten beams are molded of (200*300*1700) mm dimension with same steel reinforcement. Flexural tested for all beams was doing and load-deflection relationships of beams with and without SAP were established. Test results had shown that beams casting with addition of SAP (group B) proved to have larger load carrying capacity and llower deflection compared with group A.

Although mechanical properties of concrete under uniaxial compression are important to design concrete structure, current design codes or other empirical equations have clear limitation on the prediction of mechanical properties. Various types of fiber-reinforced reactive powder concrete matrix were tested for making more usable and accurate estimation equations for mechanical properties for ultra high strength concrete. Investigated matrix has compressive strength ranged from 30 MPa to 200 MPa. Ultra high strength concrete was made by means of reactive powder concrete. Preventing brittle failure of this type of matrix, steel fibers were used. The volume fraction of steel fiber ranged from 0 to 2%. From the test results, steel fibers significantly increase the ductility, strength and stiffness of ultra high strength matrix. They are quantified with previously conducted researches about material properties of concrete under uniaxial loading. Applicability of estimation equations for mechanical properties of concrete was evaluated with test results of this study. From the evaluation, regression analysis was carried out, and new estimation equations were proposed. And these proposed equations were applied into stress-strain relation which was developed by previous research. Ascending part, which was affected by proposed equations of this study directly, well fitted into experimental results.

Reactive powder concrete and high strength concrete have superior mechanical and structural properties, however, the major drawback of this new construction material is its high cost compared to traditional concrete. This study presents an experimental investigation on the structural behavior of hybrid rectangular cross section (coupled) reinforced concrete beams poured with normal and high strength concrete (HSC) at compression chord, normal strength concrete (NSC) at ribs, and reactive powder concrete (RPC) at tension chord. The experimental work consists of pouring and testing four specimens with dimensions (1100mm length, 100 mm width, and 400 mm height). First specimen, rectangular solid normal concrete beam for comparison with specimens, second specimen, coupled beam poured with normal strength concrete at top chord, and two other specimens of coupled beams cast with high strength concrete with two compressive strength (50 MPa and 70 MPa) at top chord. The effect of top chord concrete type at each specimen on ultimate load capacity, energy absorption, deflection and cracking load are studied in this investigation. Experimental results showed that the ultimate load carrying capacity and energy absorption increased to 76.9 % and 108.33 % respectively, compared with the solid specimen and recorded a reduction in deflection values through loading life and cracking load when using higher compressive strength of high strength concrete in compression chord in addition to reactive powder concrete in tension zone.
