The durability of high performance concrete is the main index of design. design.With the high durability, the high volume stability,the high compressive strength and the good workability, high performance concrete widely used in high-rise buildings, large-span Bridges, offshore in the construction of buildings, roads, etc.This paper prepared with different water/cement ratio of high performance concrete and tested the concrete workability, mechanical properties, durability.High performance concrete need preparate with low water/cement ratio, choose high quality raw materials,adding a sufficient number of mineral admixtures and high-performance admixture. Useing the high strength and high performance concrete can decrease the size of cross section, lose weight, gain greater economic benefits.

Concrete autogenous shrinkage phenomenon would adversely affect the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, this phenomenon is important. Autogenous shrinkage problem of low water-cement ratio of the with high mineral admixtures, cement-based cementitious materials was introduced. The main reason for high-performance concrete early cracking being autogenous shrinkage was pointed out. Based on the home and abroad research status of low water cement ratio of the cement paste and concrete autogenous shrinkage, especially for early autogenous shrinkage phenomenon, the mechanism of autogenous shrinkage and the measure method is presented, and the improvement measures and the possible problems the need for further research work is presented.

The need to produce high performance concrete led the researchers to try to exploit the potentialities of natural or artificial materials so as to improve the properties and performance of concrete. Slag is an industrial disposal which considered as a secondary product of pig-iron, these disposal will cause a severe harm to the environment in case of not get rid of it. In this investigation iron furnace slag which is produced at Giad Group - Iron Factory has been used as an alternative of proportion on cement after being processed, since its main oxides are similar to those of cement. In the practical part of our research slag has been added to the concrete mix in two ways, first by using it to replace as cement by weight as a substitutions of cement in different percent [10, 20, 30]% without changing in water-cement ratio [W/C], second by using the slag with the same previous percentage in addition to [15, 25]% to replace cement with reducing in water-cement ratio [W/C], and in addition superplasticizer [SP 901] has been added as percent from cement used in the mixture. The effect of slag was studied on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete including slump test and compressive strength in [7, 14, 28] days were investigated. The results show improvement in all concrete specimens for the added percentage of the slag as replacement materials and the addition of superplasticizer in the production of concrete and improvement in its properties. However, there is a gradual reduction in slump measurements due to slag percent increase in case of the two methods.

The accelerated carbonation test was carried out for the ordinary concrete and fly ash concrete. Influences of water-cement ratio, carbonation age and fly ash content on pH value were researched. The results show that carbonation depth, including incomplete carbonized zone, can be effectively reduced by reducing water-cement ratio. So lower water-cement ratio means high performance of resistance of carbonate. The use of fly ash can optimize concrete pore morphology, it’s beneficial for anti-carbonation. However, It disadvantageous to anti-carbonation because of less carbonation material. By taking appropriate mixture of fly ash we can not only enhance the anti-carbonation ability of concrete, but also reduce the use of cement to get well economic benefits.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) incorporating coarse aggregate was prepared with common raw materials. Fresh concrete had excellent good workability with slump of 265 mm and slump spread of 673 mm. Compressive strength of UHPC at 56 d reached 150 MPa. However, UHPC exhibited high brittleness in terms of spalling failure which occurred during compression loading.The ratio of splitting tensile strength to compressive strength of about 1/18 and the ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength of about 1/14 at 56 d were also associated with the brittleness of UHPC in this research. Mineral admixtures and fluidity of fresh concrete influenced compressive strength of UHPC significantly. Moreover, UHPC had excellent permeation-related durability but considerable shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage of UHPC was less than half of free shrinkage, for which the reason is unknown and needs further research.

Durability and high strength of concrete are closely associated with low porosity and generally denser material structure. This is achieved using the addition, which include also silica fume. This article deal with an effective dosage of silica fume in high performance concrete, in a proportion of 0-25 % by the weight of cement. Compressive strength, rheological behaviour and economic benefits were the main questions in this work. The expected increase in compressive strength showed itself in lower doses of silica fume, while higher doses did not produce a further increase in strength. In the case of rheological behaviour, we can confirm lower bleeding and segregation, but also faster drying of the surface layer. From the economic point of view, a small doses of silica fume are better, because then we have observed the highest increase in strength.

High performance lightweight aggregate concrete is a kind of lightweight environment-protected building material with high strength, good workability, volume stability and durability, which is widely used in large scale engineering and some important engineering. In this paper water-binder ratio, fly ash content, pre-wetting time, sand ratio were tested to explore the comprehensive strength of lightweight aggregate concrete(LWAC). SEM was used to observe the microstructure characteristics of the specimens. The results showed that LWAC produced in the experiment present good performance, whose apparent density was 1760 Kg/m3~1930Kg/m3, 28d compressive strength was 55MPa~60MPa. Reasonable amounts of sand ratio(38%) and mineral admixtures(10%) were exited and the self-strength of lightweight aggregate played an important role in the preparation of LWAC. In the meanwhile, lightweight aggregates which were pre-wetted effectively increased the later strength.
