Keywords: High Performance Concrete, mix proportions, compressive strength , and durability Abstract. The use of concrete materials to date, remain a key ingredient in such construction work on the construction of building, bridges and infrastructure. One indicator is the increased production of readymix concrete which is nearly 16 billion tons in 2010. But the increased used of concrete, apparently bring the impact of environmental damage. This is due to the fact that production of raw materials contributes greatly to CO2 in the air. One effort to reduce such impact is to use of high performance concretes. Mix proportion of High Performance Concrete are strongly determined by the quality and availablity of local materials. The implications of research result from other countries can‘t be directly used. Therefore is need to the research on development of High Performance Concrete mix using locally available materials. In this research the mix proportions for f’c : 60 and 80 MPa are developed using local materials that are commonly used by readymix producers. The high Performance Concrete is developed based on compressive strength and durability. The result is expected to be applied to readymix industry particularly for construction use in Indonesia.

Bridge Deck Pavement

Based on forced vibration tests for high-performance concrete (HPC), the influence of bridge vibration induced by traveling vehicle on compressive strength and durability of HPC has been studied. It is concluded that 1 d and 2 d compressive strength of HPC decreased significantly, and the maximum reduction rate is 9.1%, while 28 d compressive strength of HPC had a slight lower with a 3% maximal drop under the action of two simple harmonic vibrations with 2 Hz, 3 mm amplitude, and 4 Hz, 3 mm amplitude. Moreover, the vibration had a slight effect on the compressive strength of HPC when the simple harmonic vibration had 4 Hz and 1 mm amplitude; it is indicated that the amplitude exerts a more prominent influence on the earlier compressive strength with the comparison of the frequency. In addition, the impact of simple harmonic vibration on durability of HPC can be ignored; this shows the self-healing function of concrete resulting from later hydration reaction. Thus, the research achievements mentioned above can contribute to learning the laws by which bridge vibration affects the properties of concrete and provide technical support for the design and construction of the bridge deck pavement maintenance.

4 kinds of mix proportion High performance concrete (HPC) was manufactured, whose material was produced from Inner Mongolia areas. The compressive strength and the flexural strength of HPC were obtained by the Brine Corrosion experiments. And the resistance to corrosion of HPC was analyzed by the data of Brine Corrosion experiment. Furthermore, the concrete standard curing age of HPC samples was adopted as 28d and 90d, which could impact the resistance of high performance concrete in salt brine corrosion environment. It was turned out that 4 kinds of mix proportion HPC produced a good resistance in salt brine corrosion environment. And the longer the concrete standard curing age was adopted, the better resistance in salt brine corrosion environment of HPC could produce.

The Impact

To reduce air pollution of straw burning, and also to improve the ratio of straw comprehensive utilization, this paper presents a lightweight concrete with straw based on the mix proportion research. Firstly, the mix proportion of lightweight ceramsite concrete was designed by a volumetric method. Then, a series of lightweight ceramsite concrete mix proportion experiments were conducted to verify the validity of the design and to evaluate the effect of the admixtures on the performance of the concrete. Finally, the lightweight straw ceramsite concrete mix proportion experiments were conducted by adding straw to lightweight ceramsite concrete for studying the impact of the straw amount on the concrete strength and density. The experimental results show that the compressive strength of lightweight straw ceramsite concrete can reach the requirement of engineering application. The concrete strength and density were descended obviously with the increasing of straw amount. It was suggested that the straw amount should be limited in 20% of the concrete volume.

In recent years, it is found that there is an exponential increase in use of natural resources for infrastructure development of the country. Concrete is one of the most widely used materials for any infrastructural development activities. In this research an effort is made to utilize slag aggregates and bagasse ash in High Performance Concrete as partial replacement materials for M-Sand and cement respectively. A statistical approach called Taguchi method is used for deciding various combinations of replacement levels of alternate materials along with various levels of water cement ratios. L16 Taguchi orthogonal Array is utilized to decide experiment conduction matrix. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) and the optimum mix proportions of the High Performance Concrete for better strength and durability characteristics is arrived. It is found that the mix proportion containing water cement ratio of 0.3 with 10% replacement of cement by Bagasse Ash and 20% replacement of M-sand by slag sand gives satisfactory compressive strength and split tensile strength results

As part of the research project, this paper gives the supplement study of the mix proportion and basic properties of C50 fair-faced concrete, and summarizes the experimental results of the apparent quality of C30 and C50 fair-faced concrete affected by the mold releases. Considering the parameters of water to cement ratio, cement dosage, percent of pulverized fly ash, sand ratio, water reducer and mold releases, the workability of fresh concrete and the compressive strength of hardened concrete at 7 days, 28 days and 56 days, as well as the apparent quality and surface brightness were measured, the mix proportions of C30 and C50 fair-faced concretes for construction of urban bridge were determined. Based on the measurements of surface brightness, color uniformity, resistance to water penetration, stain resistance and compressive strength of fair-faced concrete, the formwork lacker can be firstly selected as the mold release, and the mix oil (diesel: machine oil=3:7) can be the alternative selection.

This paper reports a study carried out to evaluate the effects of corrosion inhibiting admixtures, calcium nitrite and disodium tetrapropenyl succinate, in combination with supplementary cementitious materials, fly ash and silica fume Portland cement, on the compressive strength and certain durability properties of high performance concrete. Mixture formulations, including binary and ternary combinations of these admixtures were evaluated. Chloride profiles after 91 and 365 days of exposure and the compressive strength and electrical resistivity at 1, 7, 14, 28, 180, and 365 days of age were estimated. Also, results of corrosion evaluation after five-year exposure to a natural marine environment at Treat Island Maine, USA are presented and discussed. Results indicate that the use of corrosion inhibitors in combination with supplementary cementitious materials was beneficial, albeit to various degrees, in enhancing the strength and durability properties of high performance concrete with no noticeable adverse effects.
