Shrinkage and creep behavior of concrete are keys that affect bridge construction and usage. The C60 high performance concrete was prepared by adding high content mineral additives and reducing water-binder ratio. This kind of concrete has good work performance and higher pumpability. It also has a low shrinkage and creep feature. Experiments were carried out to compare performance to concrete without mineral additives. Results show that its shrinkage and creep value decrease about 30% to 50% within long age of 360 days.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has received increasing attention in recent years due to its remarkable ductility, durability, and mechanical properties. However, the manufacture of UHPC can cause serious environmental issues. This work addresses the feasibility of using aeolian sand to produce UHPC, and the mix design, environmental impact, and mechanical characterization of UHPC are investigated. We designed the mix proportions of the UHPC according to the modified Andreasen and Andersen particle packing model. We studied the workability, microstructure, porosity, mechanical performance, and environmental impact of UHPC with three different water/binder ratios. The following findings were noted: (1) the compressive strength, flexural strength, and Young’s modulus of the designed UHPC samples were in the ranges of 163.9–207.0 MPa, 18.0–32.2 MPa, and 49.3–58.9 GPa, respectively; (2) the compressive strength, flexural strength, and Young’s modulus of the UHPC increased with a decrease in water/binder ratio and an increase in the steel fibre content; (3) the compressive strength–Young’s modulus correlation of the UHPC could be described by an exponential formula; (4) the environmental impact of UHPC can be improved by decreasing its water/binder ratio. These findings suggest that it is possible to use aeolian sand to manufacture UHPC, and this study promotes the application of aeolian sand for this purpose.

The low flowability and high viscosity of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), which is mainly caused by the silica fume (SF) agglomeration and low water–binder ratio, is a severe defect in its engineering applications. Herein, a novel organic–inorganic hybrid (OIH) admixture was synthesized by grafting comb-like polycarboxylate ether (PCE) onto the surface of SF. On the one hand, PCE-grafting could effectively prevent SF agglomeration and improve the dispersion of SF core. The reason being the consumption of polar silicon hydroxyl (Si-OH) groups on the surface of SF and the steric hindrance effect generated from PCE arms. On the other hand, OIH admixture could adsorb onto the surface of cement and SF particles by electrostatic interaction, exhibiting stronger steric hindrance effect than traditional comb-like PCE. As a result, UHPC system with this star-like OIH admixture presented high flowability and low viscosity at low water–binder ratio (0.18).

A great deal of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the water-binder ratio and fly ash content on the workability and strengths of GHPC (green high performance concrete). The workability of GHPC was evaluated by slump and slump flow. The strengths include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results indicate that the increase of water-binder ratio can improve the workability of GHPC, however the strengths of GHPC were decreased with the increase of water-binder ratio. When the fly ash content is lower than 40%, the increase in fly ash content has positive effect on workability of GHPC, while the workability begins to decrease after the fly ash content is more than 40%. The addition of fly ash in GHPC has adverse effect on the strengths, and there is a tendency of decrease in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of GHPC with the increase of fly ash content.

Several compound mineral admixtures, such as steel slag powder, granulated blast furnace slag powder and silica fume, are mixed with proper proportion to improve the workability of High Performance Concrete（HPC）. Through the orthogonal experiment, workability of HPC is analyzed on water-binder ratio, sand ratio, the amount of superplasticizer and the amount of compound mineral admixtures. Results show that: workability of HPC was significantly effected by the amount of naphthalene sulphonate water-reducing admixture and water-binder ratio, the amount of compound mineral admixtures and sand ratio are impact factors on the workability in a certain extent.

To study the impact of mineral admixtures and water-binder ratio on carbonization resistance of high performance manufactured sand concrete, high performance concrete of single mixed flyash, admixing silica fume and no admixture were compounded, carbonation depth of 3d, 7d, 14d and 28d was recorded by the way of indoor test. The test results show that with the decrease of water-binder ratio, carbonation resistance of high performance manufactured sand concrete increase, and when the concrete compressive strength is over 55Mpa, carbonation resistance is good, and when water-binder ratio is lower than 0.38, the impact of mineral admixtures on the carbonation resistance can be neglected.

Curing Age

The chloride diffusion coefficients of different water-binder ratio high performance concrete (HPC) subjected to different one-way loads，freeze-thaw cycles and different standard curing ages were measured by electro-migration (RCM) tests and the results were analyzed. The test results indicate that with the increase of one-way load, its influence on the chloride permeability of different water-binder ratio HPC rises in the same proportion. The influence of the curing age on the chloride permeability of HPC will decrease with the reduction of the water-binder ratio of HPC. Under the same freeze-thaw cycle conditions, the relationships between chloride diffusion coefficients of different water-binder ratio HPC and curing ages are nearly suitable to power function.

A high concrete strength can be achieved by lowering the water/binder ratio and a high workability by adding a higher dosage of superplasticizer. However, a high-performance concrete with both high strength and high workability cannot be produced by just these means because lowering the water/binder ratio leads to lower workability and there is a limit to the increase in workability that can be attained by adding superplasticizer. To produce a high-strength, high-workability concrete, the concrete strength needs to be increased without lowering the water/binder ratio. This can be done by adding condensed silica fume. In this study, a series of trial mixing aimed at developing high-strength, self-consolidating concrete (mean cube strength >80 MPa and needs no compaction for consolidation) was carried out. Several mixes suitable for making such high-performance concrete have been developed and it was found that the addition of condensed silica fume may, under favourable conditions, increase not only the strength but also the workability of the concrete mix. Based on the trial mix results, charts for the design of high-strength, high-workability concrete mixes made of the studied constituents are presented.Key words: condensed silica fume, high-strength concrete, self-consolidating concrete.

A literature survey of the frost resistance of high-performance concrete (HPC) is presented in this paper. Various aspects of HPC behaviour to frost, such as ice formation, resistance to internal microcracking and scaling, and air entrainment were discussed. The survey clearly indicates that the volume of ice formed in the 0 to −20 °C range is significantly reduced by the low porosity of HPC. This reduction is often accompanied by a significant improvement of the scaling resistance. Some studies even reveal the existence of a critical water/binder ratio below which air entrainment would not be required as a protection against this type of deterioration. However, this critical water/binder ratio would not apply to internal cracking. In many instances, HPC with no air entrainment were resistant to scaling but susceptible to internal microcracking. The behaviour of HPC to frost is discussed from both theoretical and applied points of view. Key words: frost resistance, high-performance concrete, ice formation, internal microcracking, scaling.

The supposition that curing at cold weather conditions leads to the loss of compressive strength of the high performance concrete was investigated. This paper addresses the results of an extensive experimental study on the compressive strength under cold weather conditions. The specimen was prepared as it’s inside 100-mm diameter and 200-mm heights cylindrical were used. In this work, high performance concrete was designed a water-binder ratio of 0.40. These tests were carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of HPC for 7 and 28 days. The results properties of HPC with silica fume were effective for compressive strength improvement between 7 to 28 curing days at 5°C, -5°C and-15°C.
