Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a new kind of ultra-high strength and upper ductility concrete first developed in 1990’s in France. In this paper, the RPC mixture proportion is optimized and its mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, and its durability, are tested and discussed. Based on the optimal mixture proportion, four simply supported plain RPC beams (without reinforcement bars) are made and tested. The mechanical properties of plain RPC beams, including section deformation, load-displacement relationship, failure forms, crack distribution, crack extension, and ultimate flexural capacity, are discussed. It is concluded that RPC is an excellent material with high strength and durability. Steel fiber is important both to control the crack extension and to enhance the ductility of RPC beams.

This article describes an experimental program developed to study the influence of longitudinal prestress on the behaviour of high-strength concrete hollow beams under pure torsion. The pre-cracking, the post-cracking and the ultimate behaviour are analysed. Three tests were carried out on large hollow high-strength concrete beams with similar concrete strength. The variable studied was the level of longitudinal uniform prestress. Some important conclusions on different aspects of the beams’ behaviour are presented. These conclusions, considered important for the design of box bridges, include the influence of the level of prestress in the cracking and ultimate behaviour.
