Ultrasonic testing of reactive powder concrete

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 2004
Concrete is a critical material for the construction of infrastructure facilities throughout the world. Traditional concretes consist of cement paste and aggregates ranging in size from 6 to 25 mm that form a heterogeneous material with substantial compressive strength and a very low tensile strength.

Composition of reactive powder concretes

Cement and Concrete Research, 1995
Abstract Development of an ultra-high strength ductile concrete designated RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete), was made possible by the application of a certain number of basic principles relating to the composition, mixing and post-set heat curing of the concrete.

Reactive powder concrete with lightweight aggregates

Construction and Building Materials, 2020
Abstract The paper presents test results of lightweight concretes obtained by introduction of lightweight aggregates: Pollytag, expanded clay aggregate and expanded polystyrene beads (EPS) in quantity from 30 vol% to 60 vol% to the RPC mix. It was demonstrated that addition of the expanded clay aggregate allowed to obtain lightweight RPC with the ...

Mechanical Properties of Modified Reactive Powder Concrete

SP-173: Fifth CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete, 1997
Original Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) - in form of a superplasticized cement mixture with silica fume, steel fibers and ground fine quartz was studied in comparison with a modified RPC where a graded natural aggregate (max size 8 mm) was used to replace the fine sand and/or part of the cementitious binder.

A new approach for production of reactive powder concrete: lightweight reactive powder concrete (LRPC)

Materials and Structures, 2016
Currently, reactive powder concrete (RPC) has been used in the production of structural beam components, manhole covers and similar road accessories etc. In this study, the production of lightweight reactive powder concrete (LRPC) was aimed by using pumice aggregate so as to gain advantage on transportation due to its lowered weight.

Reactive powder concrete reinforced by nanoparticles

Advances in Cement Research, 2016
The influences of four nanoparticles of nanosilica (SiO2), nano-calcium carbonate (CaCO3), nano-aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and nano-iron oxide (Fe2O3) on workability, hydration, pore structure and mechanical strength of reactive powder concrete (RPC) are investigated by macro/microscopic methods. The aim of this study is to provide an essential basis for

The Sherbrooke Reactive Powder Concrete Footbridge

Structural Engineering International, 1998
An innovative pedestrian and bicycle bridge has been built entirely with reactive powder concrete, without any steel rebars. The superstructure spans 60 m and consists of an open-web space truss.
