Methods of mix design of HPC (2016) Mehta and Aitcin

He explained the term High-Performance-Concrete (HPC) for concrete mixtures that possess the
following three properties: high-workability, high- strength, and high durability. Durability rather
than high strength appears to be the principal characteristic for high-performance concrete mixtures
being developed for use in hostile environments such as seafloor tunnels, offshore and coastal
marine structures, and confinement for solid and liquid wastes containing hazardous materials.
Strength, dimensional stability, impermeability, and high workability are usually the principal
characteristics required of high-performance concrete. Also, a brief review is given of concrete
production and construction practices essential for making a high-performance end product.

Optimize the combination of HPC and other admixtures affecting the viscosity of this type of
mix (2015) Ozawa et al.

He explained as a concrete with high filling capacity. It can be filled into all the corners of
formwork without using any vibrators. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of
chemical admixtures such as superplasticizer and viscosity agents on the deformational and
segregation behavior of fresh concrete. The study is important for developing the concrete with high
filling capacity. The optimum mix proportion of superplasticizer and viscosity agent was clarified
for the concrete with high filling capacity. It was found that there exists the suitable viscosity of
paste for improving not only the deformability but also the segregation resistance, which is highly
dependent on the volume of free water in fresh concrete.

Behavior and strength of beams cast with ultrahigh strength concrete containing different
types of fibers (2014) Vivekanandam and Patnaikuni

He investigated on the relationship between transition zone microstructure

and compressive strength property of high performance concrete using Australian

Industrial silica fume and Australian aggregates. Based on the scanning electron

microscopic studies of transition zone, it has been found that high performance

concrete transition zone thickness increases while compressive strength increases.

Further high performance concrete transition zone thickness is much less than the

thickness of transition zone of normal strength concrete. From the test, they

concluded that the transition zone thickness increases while compressive strength

increases. High performance concrete transition zone thickness is much less than

normal strength concrete and is up to approximately 15µm. Silica fume particles

strengthen the transition zone structure by the consumption of calcium hydroxide.


Performance concrete (HPC) mixtures at (2013) Farzadni al

He study on fast population growth and a higher demand for housing and infrastructure,
accompanied by recent developments in civil engineering, such as high-rise buildings and long-span
bridges, higher compressive strength concrete is needed. Currently, high-performance concrete is
used in massive volumes due to its technical and economic advantages. Such materials are
characterized by improved mechanical and durability properties resulting from the use of chemical
and mineral admixtures as well as specialized production processes

The high performance concretes, with and without silica fume (2012) Bentz et al

The high performance concretes, with and without silica fume additions, with respect to their
adiabatic heat signature. The measure responses are compared with predicated values from the
NIST 3-D cement hydration and micro structural model which has been modified to incorporate the
pozzolanic reaction of silica fume and to simulate hydration under adiabatic conditions. The NIST
3-D micro structural model has been used successfully to predict the adiabatic temperature rise of a
variety of concrete mixtures,

BAMBOO REINFORCEMENT

An exhaustive survey of the available literature was conducted to assess the present status of the
work carried out bamboo reinforcement. Some of the researches carried out by the past research
literature in the year of 2016-2010 are given below

The study on plain cement concrete (PCC) beam, bamboo reinforced concrete (BRC) beam, treated
bamboo reinforced concrete (TBRC) beam and steel reinforced concrete (SRC) (2016) Amit Singh

He study on plain cement concrete (PCC) beam, bamboo reinforced concrete (BRC) beam, treated
bamboo reinforced concrete (TBRC) beam and steel reinforced concrete (SRC). Beams were casted
for and were tested on flexural testing machine. From the results it was concluded that, bamboo
reinforced concrete beams (treated and untreated) showed a significant improvement in their
flexural strength as compared to plain cement concrete beam. Hence, it can be recommended to use
bamboo reinforced concrete beam for light load bearing structures like beam and slab for small
panel. Also, it may be used for temporary structure.

Effects of bamboo fibers in reinforced concrete (2015) Dr. Shakeel Ahmad et.al.

Programme on Concrete cubes reinforced with 1% bamboo fiber by volume and been tested in
compression testing machine and stress -strain curve has been plotted. The results have been
compared with plain concrete cubes. Concrete beams reinforced with bamboo sticks at top and at
top and bottom both have been cast and tested in flexure (pure bending). Four point bending test has
been conducted and load deflection curve has been plotted. The results are compared with same
dimension beam without any reinforcement
Flexural behavior of bamboo reinforcement (2014) Nirav

B. Siddhpura.

In this study on the usefulness of Bamboo as a structural member in flexural element. Various
surface coatings on the Bamboo are given and the reinforcement cage has been prepared using the
Bamboo stirrups. The flexure test was performed on the beam elements. To check the flexural
strength of the beam reinforced with the Bamboo, Cement concrete flexural elements of the
dimension 130*130*750 mm were prepared, The Bamboo strip used as reinforcement was 710 mm
long. When water comes in contact with the surface of the Bamboo, it swells. In order to prevent
the swelling of the Bamboo waterproofing of the Bamboo was done by chemical Araldite, Epoxy
Resin and Coal Tar treatments. From the study it was concluded that Beam elements reinforced with
Bamboo having coal tar as a surface conting has showed highest value of Modulus of Elasticity

Comparative study of steel and bamboo reinforcement (2013) Arpit Sethia and Vijay
Baradiya.

In this study Steel & Bamboo reinforced members. For example, a total of 4beam
(150x150x700mm) were casted using design 14mix (M25) as per IS code. These beam included 1
beam of steel reinforcement, Ibeam of plain concrete, and 4beam of untreated bamboo
reinforcement. The result concluded that for bamboo reinforced concrete beam, the load carrying
capacity increased about 3 times that of plain concrete beam having same dimensions. The
maximum deflection of bamboo reinforced concrete beam is about 1.5 that of plain concrete. This
thesis concludes that it is possible to use bamboo as reinforcing for masonry structure. Though the
tensile strength is about 1/3rd that of steel, this is sufficient for masonry structure and provides a
more economical and environment- friendly alternative that is accessible to every section of the
society.

Properties of bamboo (2012) Dr. Patel Pratima A.

In this study physical and mechanical properties like compressive strength, tensile strength, Flexural
test, Bonding strength, water absorption, density etc. of the selected bamboo species in material
testing laboratory. Purpose of the experiments on bamboo strips is for validation and justification of
these results confirm the application of bamboo as reinforcement element. Slabs were cast with and
without bamboo reinforcement. The study concluded that the flexural test on slab panel is as below
with bamboo reinforcement is as below the slab without bamboo reinforcement

Bamboo as a reinforcing material without any treatment (2011) Jigar K. Sevalia

In this study the Bamboo was used as a reinforcing material without any treatment and stirrups. In
order to check flexural strength of Bamboo Reinforced cement concrete, beam specimens are casted
with dimension 130*130*750 mm. From the experimental result it was found that Modulus of
Elasticity of the Doubly Reinforced Beam is more than twice of Modulus of Elasticity of the Singly
Reinforced Beam
Tensile properties of bamboo (2010) B.Benitta PaulinMary and Dr.
D.Tensing

A review of the research carried out on bamboo reinforced concrete is given with emphasis on
experimental work. From the analysis results it was proved that bamboo has high tensile strength
and it can be used as a replacing material for steel reinforcement because of its low cost.
Constructions made with bamboo can be very durable if it is well immunized and well selected
trying to have the best quality of the material
