Providing a framework for optimizing a mixing design of reactive powder concrete (RPC)

Abstract Suitable distribution of particles and the presence hydration lead to improved compressive performance optimum (even reduced) cost in production reactive powder concrete (RPC). This study was conducted obtain a better understanding RPC analyze behavior modified (MRPC) using properties surface resistivity, water penetration, strength, modulus elasticity, apart from cost. The present carried out investigate how optimize size diversity aggregate order increase applications reduce costs. options were selected among 12 alternatives classified during construction stages. According six weighting parameters used for comparing with sample, derived framework can be described as mixing design RPC. Five criteria considered values one five missing, case, all taken equal weights. For final analysis, Expert Choice software create optimal mix MRPC. MRPC designs showed good results, very slight differences compared In many cases, instead
