Development of Ultra High Performance Concrete Using Fly Ash

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experimental work presented in this article examines the possibility of lowering the economic cost of UHPC. The UHPC were designed using the Linear Packing Density Model. After 7 days, the UHPC compressive strength exceeded 120 MPa. Level of compressive strength after 90 days reaching 150 MPa had been obtained with a lower dose of cement (700 kg/m3) and with the use of secondary raw materials (fly ash), without the use of dispersed reinforcement. The successful design and production proved that the use of secondary raw materials is possible, thereby decreasing the economic cost of UHPC production.
