Volumetric Changes of the UHPC Matrix and its Determination

Article Preview

Abstract:

Research in the Ultra-High Performance Concrete applications field is very important. Current experiences shows that the structure design should be optimize due to relatively new fine-grained cement-based Hi-Tech material with excellent mechanical and durability properties. It is not sure if some of the volumetric changes like creep or shrinkage has or has not an impact on an advantage for the construction and for the structure design. The effect of the shrinkage and creep of common used concretes are well known and well described at publications but the effect of volumetric changes of the UHPC is mostly unknown because of the fact that some of experimental tests are long term and the development of UHPC is still in its basics. A lot of works are focused on a basic mechanical properties and durability tests.
