Portland cement, crushed stone, sand and superplasticizer were used to obtain a high strength concrete with a low water to binder ratio. A reticular polypropylene fiber and a single polypropylene fiber were used to improve the strength of the high strength concrete, but the effects of the two fibers on the slump and strengths were quite different. The reasons of the differences were the surface area and the modulus of elasticity of the fibers. The results show the reticular fiber was better to used in high strength concretes.

Hollow Structural Section

Results from an experimental program on the behaviour of high strength concrete-filled steel hollow structural section (HSS) columns will be presented for three types of concrete filling. A comparison will be made of the fire-resistance performance of HSS columns filled with normal strength concrete, high strength concrete, and steel-fibre-reinforced high strength concrete. The various factors that influence the structural behaviour of high strength concrete-filled HSS columns under fire conditions are discussed. It is demonstrated that, in many cases, addition of steel fibres into high strength concrete improves the fire resistance and offers an economical solution for fire-safe construction.Key words: high strength concrete, steel columns, fire-resistance design, high-temperature behaviour, concrete-filled steel columns.

Near Future

This paper presents a review of advances in research on fire resistance of high-strength concrete (HSC) and ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC). Further research needs in the near future on UHSC, especially on reactive powder concrete (RPC), are also discussed. It is commonly recognized that HSC suffers strength loss in a manner basically similar to that of normal strength concrete. But the main problem of HSC is explosive spalling under high temperature, which can be solved by employing either polymer fiber or steel fiber. Since RPC200 is a type of RPC which has been successfully prepared in many counties and is to be applied to engineering practice, fire resistance of RPC200 needs a series of investigations urgently. The objectives of such investigations are to restrain explosive spalling and minimizing spalling probability, so as to ensure satisfactory fire resistance of RPC. It is expected that a research will be carried out on explosive spalling behavior, fracture properties, and micro-structure, to establish a mechanism as well as technical measures for improving fire resistance of RPC.
