Progresses in Concrete Technology

Abstract:

Investigation of recent progresses in concrete technology, with emphasis on research achieved at the Center for Advanced Cement Based Materials (ACBM Center) at LiYang, china, as explored during our recent visit is presented. Ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC), with compressive strength of 200MPa, devises been industrialized. The properties and uses of reactive powder concrete, one type of UHSC, are argued. Fiber reinforcement is recycled to overcome the inherent brittleness and increase the tensile strength of concrete, particularly high- and ultra-high-strength concrete.
