In the construction industry, materials that are used for producing concrete and their mixture proportions an important decision-making optimization problem manufacturers. Amounts (mixture proportions) of materials, which in order to obtain a high strength functional concrete, can positively or negatively affect performance criteria individually determined each customer. Furthermore, effect sig...

The possibility of using coal mining waste in mine concrete mixing is considered the article. As a result research, scientific and practical results have been obtained that make it possible to evaluate strength properties concrete, depending on content dust particles - it. It has experimentally proven when fine fraction added decreases at certain ratio, but this sufficient ensure required prope...

Problem statement: Nowadays, the use of waste tyre in concrete has become technically feasible and the tyre mixed concrete is light weight and called as rubberized concrete. Still the research is going on to explore basic engineering properties such as transport properties viz, acid absorption test, water absorption tests, impact resistance, modulus of elasticity, dynamic modulus and so on. In ...

Latex modified concrete (LMC) is used for a bridge deck pavement method that was introduced in Korea in the 2000s, and it is currently the concrete pavement method being used for most highway bridges. It has been recommended that mixing with latex approximately 15% in terms of polymer-cement ratio (P/C ratio) by weight showed no occurrence of cracks with sufficient tensile strength and bond str...

High performance concrete (HPC) requires a low water-to-cementitious materials mass ratio (w/cm), often with the inclusion of supplemental cementitious materials such as silica fume in the mixture, thus necessitating the use of a superplasticizer. Because of the low w/cm and rapid reaction at early ages, proper curing from the earliest time possible is very essential in HPC. Internal curing has...

High performance is the most important expectation from concrete which is commonly used in today’s construction technology. To form a high performance concrete “HPC”, two fundamental properties are required. These properties are optimization of the materials used to form the concrete and the workability of fresh concrete during shaping. Many scientists have used rheological properties in conjun...

Modeling the complex behavior of concrete for a specific mixture is a challenging task, as it requires bridging the cement scale and the concrete scale. We describe a multiscale analysis procedure for the modeling of concrete structures, in which material properties at the macro scale are evaluated based on lower scales. Concrete may be viewed over a range of scale sizes, from the atomic scale ...

The size effect in the gas of impuritons of the superfluid mixtures of helium isotopes is investigated by taking into consideration the contribution of thermal excitations. The solution is obtained for the set of kinetic equations describing a non-equilibrium state of the phonon-impuriton system of a superfluid mixture situated in the volume filled with the macroparticles. It allows to find the...

Some Problems on High Strength Concrete for Prestressing by Kanji YAMAZAKI (Research Laboratory of Nihon Cement Co., Ltd., Tokyo) This paper describes some problems on high strength concrete studied in our laboratory in recent years. Summary of this report is as follows: (1) In order to make high strength concrete for prestressing, it is necessary to lower the water-cement ratio. But, in the ca...
