Factorial Design Approach of Ultra-High Performance Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to understand the influence of mixture parameters on ultra-high strength self-consolidating concrete (UHS-SCC) behaviour, an experimental design was carried out in this investigation. In total, 19 SCC mixtures were prepared to determine several key responses that affect the slump flow and compressive strength of UHS-SCC. The statistical models derived from the factorial design approach can be used to quantify the effect of mixture parameters and their coupled effects on fresh and mechanical properties of SCC.
