With the help of the most advanced RD facilities worldwide, LafargeHolcim has developed the most innovative range of readymixed, prefabricated concrete solutions and services. They are designed to support buildings and infrastructure construction players in meeting their challenges: cost and speed of construction and worksite productivity, as well as architectural and
The bond behaviour of novel, sandcoated ultrahigh modulus (UHM) carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) tendons to high performance concrete (HPC) was studied by a combined numerical and experimental approach. A series of pullout tests revealed that the failure type can vary between sudden and continuous pullout depending on the chosen sand coating grain size.
In addition to high strength, the concrete should exhibit greater durability characteristics. This means that the concrete should be high strength and high performance. One of the materials developed in recent years is ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) also known as reactive powder concrete (RPC). This material possesses
High performance concrete (HPC) exceeds the properties and constructability of normal concrete. Normal and special materials are used to make these specially designed concrete that must meet a combination of performance requirements. HPC are made with carefully selected high quality ingredients and optimized mixture designs.

The targeted areas were asphalt, pavement performance, concrete structures, and highway operations. The Center for Building Technology at NIST is also conducting research to improve concrete performance. The projects include several that are developing new methods of field testing concrete.
High Performance Concrete, Silica Fume, Superplasticizer and Compressive Strength. INTRODUCTION: High performance concrete (HPC) exceeds the properties and constructability of normal concrete. Normal and special materials are used to make these specially designed concrete that must meet a combination of performance requirements.
optimization of fully replacement of hydro sluiced bottom ash by natural sand with nano silica in high performance concrete. The ordinary Portland cement is partially replaced with nanosilica by %, %, % and natural sand is fully replaced with hydro sluiced bottom ash. .
The high strength and high performance concrete C80~C100 is popularly used nowadays, especially in the WestTower Project of Gungzhou. In order to provide reference for the use of high strength concrete and the development of ultrahigh pumping technology, the following six aspects were studied, namely the preparation of high strength concrete, the variation of the concrete mixture under high ...

Aug 20, 2014· Abstract. This work focuses on the use of copper slag, as a partial replacement of sand for use in cement concrete and building construction. Cement mortar mixtures prepared with fine aggregate made up of different proportions of copper slag and sand were tested for use as masonry mortars and plastering.
The Advanced Methods for Manufacturing Program seeks to conduct research in developing high performance concrete (HPC) products, and their fabrication and manufacturing methods to enhance modular construction techniques. With high strength and dense microstructure, HPC is expected to
high performance concrete K. S. Al Jabri Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman Abstract This paper presents results from an experimental investigation carried out to study the potential use of copper slag as fine aggregate on the strength of both normal and high strength concrete.
