Practical Feasibility

In collaboration with FHWA, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has successfully completed its first experimental high-performance concrete pavement (HPCP) project under the Testing and Evaluation Program (TE-30). This project is one of the 22 projects funded under the TE-30 Program. With a structural design life of 60 years, this HPCP is unique in that it incorporates significant changes to the existing Mn/DOT specifications on concrete materials. Some of the new materials-related specifications developed as a part of this project are based on performance criteria that influence long-term durability of the pavement structure. The background and considerations for selecting the new performance measures are discussed, and test results are presented that evaluate the practical feasibility of establishing and achieving the performance specifications.

Shrinkage And Creep

Research in the Ultra-High Performance Concrete applications field is very important. Current experiences shows that the structure design should be optimize due to relatively new fine-grained cement-based Hi-Tech material with excellent mechanical and durability properties. It is not sure if some of the volumetric changes like creep or shrinkage has or has not an impact on an advantage for the construction and for the structure design. The effect of the shrinkage and creep of common used concretes are well known and well described at publications but the effect of volumetric changes of the UHPC is mostly unknown because of the fact that some of experimental tests are long term and the development of UHPC is still in its basics. A lot of works are focused on a basic mechanical properties and durability tests.

Frp Confinement

In this study, a novel form of tubular columns that is made of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) internally reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid (herein referred to as FRP grid-UHPCtubular column) was developed. The axial compression test results of FRP grid-UHPC tubular columns with and without in-filled concrete are presented and discussed. Effects of the number of the FRP grid-reinforcing cages, the presence of in-filled concrete, and the presence of external FRP confinement were investigated. The test results confirmed that the FRP-UHPC tubular columns have a satisfactory compressive strength, and the strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete-filled FRP grid-UHPC tube columns are enhanced due to the confinement from the FRP wrap. The proposed FRP grid-reinforced UHPC composite tubes are attractive in structural applications as pipelines or permanent formworks for columns, as well as external jackets (can be prefabricated in the form of two halves of tubes) for strengthening deteriorated reinforced concrete columns.

Abstract This current study attempts to investigate the mechanical, durability as well as rheology properties of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with low cement content and using coarse aggregate. The cement content used in UHPC mix in current study was 800 kg/m3. The slump flow, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, water absorption and water penetration tests were conducted to determine the workability, mechanical and durability properties of explored UHPC mixture. The test results show that the above properties were exceptional and comparable with other UHPC mixtures.

Fatigue Development

In the present paper, a comprehensive study on the flexural fatigue behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams prestressed with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons is reported. A total of two UHPC beams prestressed with CFRP tendons were experimentally investigated. On the basis of the fatigue constitutive model of the materials, a fatigue prediction model (FPM) was developed to simulate the flexural fatigue evolvement of the beams. The strain and stress in UHPC and CFRP tendons were calculated by the sectional stress analysis. The influence of steel fiber was considered in the formulae for the crack resistance and crack width, and the midspan deflection was calculated using the sum of deflection before cracking and increment after cracking. The obtained test results were used to verify the FPM. A parametric study was then conducted to analyze the fatigue development of such component, and a formula to predict the flexural fatigue life of UHPC beams under different fatigue loads was proposed.
