Effect of density on compressive strength of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) using design of experiment

Abstract

This paper aims to model the effect of density in 7, 14, 28 days on compressive strength of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in same compaction and curing conditions by Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology using vary range of 5 variables: Silica fume (SF), Steel Fiber, Cement 42.5, Superplasticizer (SP), and water cemetiotious ratio (w/c).The results shows the significance effect of density on compressive strength of UHPC in different days, The models are valid for the mixes made with 1.0 sand, 0.15-0.30 silica fume amount, 0.70-1.30 cement amount, 0.10-0.20 steel fiber, 0.04-0.08 superplasticizer (all values are by sand by weight mass) and 0.18-0.32 water cementitious ratio. © 2016 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
