High Performance Concrete Optimal Composition Design

The book deals with experimental and theoretical data forming a basis for design and production of high-strength rapid hardening concrete and fiber reinforced concrete. Such concrete has high early strength at 12 - 24 hours after casting and saves energy resources during the construction stage.

Preface. PART I: HIGH STRENGTH RAPID HARDENING CONCRETE. Theoretical prerequisites. Technological ways for producing high-strength rapid-hardening concrete. Cement concrete with high early strength. Experimental-statistical models of strength parameters of high strength rapid hardening concrete (HSRH ). Designing high-strength concrete compositions with specified values of strength and workability. Multi-parameter design of high-strength concrete compositions. PART II: HIGH STRENGTH FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE. The influence of dispersed reinforcement factors on the strength properties of fiber reinforced concrete. Technological properties of fiber reinforced concrete mixtures. Properties of fiber concrete determining its durability. High-strength fiber reinforced concrete with composite dispersed reinforcement. Dynamic characteristics of fiber reinforced concrete. Design of high strength fiber reinforced concrete compositions.
