Strength Development of High-Performance Concrete using Nanosilica

Performance of High-strength Concrete

This research was undertaken to investigate performance of high-strength concrete incorporating mineral admixtures, fly ash and silica fume. For modern construction, the use of new construction materials is increasing to achieve economy and improved final results. An extensive literature search was carried out to review various engineering properties of high-strength concrete. In this study, th...

Performance of High-strength Concrete Made with Recycled Ceramic Aggregates

Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

Development of High-strength Self-consolidating Concrete

Flexural Performance of High-strength Prestressed Concrete-encased Concrete-filled Steel Tube Sections

The sections composed of concrete and steel, which include concrete-encased concrete-filled tubes, generally have defects due to the low tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, an appropriate method was used for the combination of concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and prestressing strands which is encased in concrete. The conventional design guidelines are commonly developed for materials with norma...

Optimization of fully replacement of natural sand by m-sand In high performance concrete with nanosilica

Abstract— In recent days the demand for river sand is increasing due to its lesser availability. Hence the practice of replacing river sand with M-Sand is taking a tremendous growth. It is also inferred from the literature that replacement of normal sand with M-Sand produces no appreciable increase in compressive strength due to the variation in the pore size of concrete at micro level. This pa...
