Frontier Research on High Performance Concrete and Mechanical Properties

Abstract

This open access book focuses on cutting-edge research in high-performance concrete. Concrete has been a main construction material all over the world in the past century. As the demand for construction rises, the need for concrete with stronger performance grows as well. Existing studies on high-performance concrete are mainly on fiber admixtures and reactive mineral powder admixtures, with a focus on concrete proportioning and rheological properties. Through in-depth analysis of real-world engineering cases and demonstration of the latest research achievements, this book aims to provide a systematic review of research on high-performance concrete for civil engineers and scholars in related research fields. The topics of this book include but are not limited to the following: 1. Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Admixture Factors; 2. Effect of Mineral Reactive Powders on Concrete; 3. High Performance Concrete Packing Density and Rheological Properties; 4. High Performance Concrete Proportioning and Theoretical Research; 5. Research on Mechanical Properties of High Performance Concrete.
