Pervious concrete pavement is a porous urban surface. It could reduce runoff capacity, decrease a storm-water detention, reduce the amount of requiring rain drainage pipes, and let rainwater filter into ground and allow groundwater resources to renew in time. Fire damage, could be one of important factors since European countries have been used pervious concrete in buildings construction. This study was conducted to assess the fire damage on pervious concrete with silica fume and steel fiber. The test results find that pervious concrete with 10% silica fume and 2% steel fibers showed the maximum increase in compressive and flexural strengths by 60% and 23% respectively over the control mix while maintaining adequate permeability. It also shows that the flexural strength of pervious concrete with 10% silica fume and 2% steel fiber could reach 45 kg/cm2 strength specification. The high temperature exposure results find that pervious concrete could hardly be detected any crack at the temperature of 700 °Cor 800°C and fire duration of 2 hours. There is some damage on strength after the fire-attack test, the ratio of the residual strength can range from about 20%~60% and it depends on temperature, steel fiber, and silica fume content. By this study of pervious concrete will be valuable for fire safety design and construction of practice.

ABSTRACTVery high strength castable chemically bonded ceramic (CBC) materials have been prepared which consist of finely chopped steel fibers and steel aggregate in a silica modified portland cement matrix. This paper examines the effect of metal fiber addition on compressive and flexural strengths. The overall chemistry of the matrix is held constant but the morphological form of silica used and the cure conditions are altered to examine their effect. Compressive strengths in excess of 500 MPa and flexural strengths in excess of 80 MPa can be obtained.It is found that flexural strength increases proportionally with fiber content over the range of 0 to 10% by volume. Compressive strengths are not affected. Use of silica fume in the mixes produces higher strengths at low temperatures than mixes which contain only crystalline silica. High temperature curing/drying (400°C), which produces the highest strengths, produces equivalent properties for formulations with and without silica fume. Higher water/cement ratios are found to reduce compressive strengths but have relatively little effect on the flexural properties.

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a newly emerging concrete material that is being used for various applications where high-strength concrete is required. RPC is obtained by removing coarse aggregates and adding fine powders such as silica fume into the concrete mixture. This research has focused on the proportioning and characterization of RPC mixture to be used as a material for energy storage pile application. For mixture parameters, the water-to-binder ratio (WB), silica fume (SF) content, and normal and warm temperature curing have been selected. The relative flowability, penetration resistance, setting time, drying shrinkage, and compressive and flexural strengths were evaluated. Based on the test results, the mixture with WB = 0.22 and SF = 20% was the best mixture with the highest tensile strength and other characteristics. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design the experiments and find the optimum mixture proportions to achieve the highest compressive strength. The optimum WB and SF content to achieve the highest strength for combined ages (7 days, 28 days, and 56 days) was determined to be WB = 0.213 and SF = 20%. Through the comparison between the test results and the required strength from analytical simulations, the RPC studied in this paper was deemed to be suitable for the energy storage pile.

The Impact

Portland cement concrete is known to have good fire resistance; however, its strength would be degraded after exposure to the temperatures of fire. Repeated low-velocity impacts are a type of probable accidental load in many types of structures. Although there is a rich body of literature on the residual mechanical properties of concrete after high temperature exposure, the residual repeated impact performance of concrete has still not been well explored. For this purpose, an experimental study was conducted in this work to evaluate the effect of high temperatures on the repeated impact strength of normal strength concrete. Seven identical concrete patches with six disc specimens each were cast and tested using the ACI 544-2R repeated impact setup at ambient temperature and after exposure to 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 500 °C. Similarly, six cubes and six prisms from each patch were used to evaluate the residual compressive and flexural strengths at the same conditions. Additionally, the scattering of the impact strength results was examined using three methods of the Weibull distribution, and the results are presented in terms of reliability. The test results show that the cracking and failure impact numbers of specimens heated to 100 °C reduced slightly by only 2.4 and 3.5%, respectively, while heating to higher temperatures deteriorated the impact resistance much faster than the compressive and flexural strengths. The percentage reduction in impact resistance at 600 °C was generally higher than 96%. It was also found that the deduction trend of the impact strength with temperature is more related to that of the flexural strength than the compressive strength. The test results also show that, within the limits of the adopted concrete type and conducted tests, the strength reduction after high temperature exposure is related to the percentage weight loss.

Frp Confinement

In this study, the co-effects of steel fibers and FRP confinement on the concrete behavior under the axial compression load are investigated. Thus, the experimental tests were conducted on 18 steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens confined by FRP. Moreover, 24 existing experimental test results of FRP-confined specimens tested under axial compression are gathered to compile a reliable database for developing a mathematical model. In the conducted experimental tests, the concrete strength was varied as 26 MPa and 32.5 MPa and the steel fiber content was varied as 0.0%, 1.5%, and 3%. The specimens were confined with one and two layers of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheet. The experimental test results show that simultaneously using the steel fibers and FRP confinement in concrete not only significantly increases the peak strength and ultimate strain of concrete but also solves the issue of sudden failure in the FRP-confined concrete. The simulations confirm that the results of the proposed model are in good agreement with those of experimental tests.

In the exploratory study presented in this paper, an attempt was made to develop different mixtures of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) using various locally available natural and industrial waste materials as partial replacements of silica fume and sand. Materials such as natural pozzolana (NP), fly ash (FA), limestone powder (LSP), cement kiln dust (CKD), and pulverized steel slag (PSS), all of which are abundantly available in Saudi Arabia at little or no cost, were employed in the development of the UHPC mixtures. A base mixture of UHPC without replacement of silica fume or sand was selected and a total of 24 trial mixtures of UHPC were prepared using different percentages of NP, FA, LSP, CKD, and PSS, partially replacing the silica fume and sand. Flow and 28-d compressive strength of each UHPC mixture were determined to finally select those mixtures, which satisfied the minimum flow and strength criteria of UHPC. The test results showed that the utilization of NP, FA, LSP, CKD, and PSS in production of UHPC is possible with acceptable flow and strength. A total of 10 UHPC mixtures were identified with flow and strength equal to or more than the minimum required.

The present day world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult civil engineering structures. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) offers several economic and technical benefits; the use of steel fiber extends its possibilities. Steel fiber acts as a bridge to retard their cracks propagation, and improve several characteristics and properties of the concrete. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this investigation to study the Flexural Behaviour of Steel Fiber Reinforced self compacting concrete incorporating silica fume in the structural elements. The self compacting concrete mixtures have a coarse aggregate replacement of 25% and 35% by weight of silica fume. Totally eight mixers are investigated in which cement content, water content, dosage of superplasticers were all constant. Slump flow time and diameter, J-Ring, V-funnel, and L-Box were performed to assess the fresh properties of the concrete. The variable in this study was percentage of volume fraction (1.0, 1.5) of steel fiber. Finally, five beams were to be casted for study, out of which one was made with conventional concrete, one with SCC (25% silica fume) and other were with SCC (25% silica fume + 1% of steel fiber, 25% silica fume + 1.5% of steel fiber) one with SCC (35% silica fume), and other were SCC (35% Silica fume + 1% of steel fiber, 35% Silica fume + 1.5% of steel fiber). Compressive strength, flexural strength of the concrete was determined for hardened concrete for 7 and 28 days. This investigation is also done to determine the increase the compressive strength by addition of silica fume by varying the percentage.
