Mechanical Properties of Reactive Powder Concrete Containing Fly Ash under Different Curing Regimes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC) containing fly ash were investigated under different curing regimes (standard and steam curing) in this study. The experimental results indicate that, flexural strength of RPC increased considerably after steam curing, compared to the standard curing. Steam curing had no significant effect on compressive strength of RPC. Increasing the fly ash content improved the flexural strength of RPC under all curing regimes considerably. The compressive strength reached a maximum (103.8MPa) when the fly to ash and cement ratio is 0.3.
