    Preliminary Studies On Hpc's For Pavements

    Uploaded by

    Pallavi Pankajakshi
    This document summarizes preliminary studies on using high-performance concretes (HPC) for pavements. HPC can have enhanced properties like higher strength, lower permeability, and greater resistance to chemical attacks. The study aims to determine the properties of HPC ingredients and arrive at mix proportions for silica fume concrete and high-volume fly ash concrete. Materials being tested include cement, fly ash, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and superplasticizers. Tests are being conducted on these materials according to appropriate standards. Mix designs have been developed for a conventional M40 concrete and HPC mixes. Compressive strength testing of cubes made with these mixes will be conducted at 56 days.

    PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON

    HPCs FOR PAVEMENTS



    BY
    PANKAJAKSHI M G
    I-semester M.E., (Civil)
    (Major: Highway Engineering)

    Under the guidance of
    Dr. M.S. AMARNATH
    Professor
    Bangalore University, Bangalore-560 056
    2012 2013.

    HIGH PERFORMANCE CEMENT
    CONCRETE
    HPCC can be defined as concrete with
    enhanced properties such as higher
    compressive, higher flexural strength, lower
    permeability, lower heat generation, greater
    resistance to alkali silica reaction and greater
    resistance to sulphate attack because of the
    addition of admixture.

    NEED FOR THE STUDY
    Drastical increase in traffic playing on the
    surface, demanding better and stronger
    pavement.
    Need for exploring pavement alternatives with
    improved strength properties
    Objective
    To determine the properties of ingredient of
    High performance cement concrete
    To arrive at the mix proportion of HPCC
    (Silica fume concrete, High volume fly ash
    concrete )
    EXPERIMENTAL
    INVESTIGATION
    Some special types of high
    performance cement concrete
    Silica fume concrete
    High volume fly ash concrete
    Ground granulated blast furnace slag concrete
    Fiber reinforced concrete

    Silica fume concrete is defined as a mix that
    contains replacement of cement by Silica fume.
    Silica fume concrete can reach the same or greater
    design strength as normal concrete.

    MATERIALS USED IN THE
    STUDY
    Cement - 53grade cement conforming to IS: 12269-1987.
    Fly ash - Class F fly ash used is obtained from Raichur
    thermal power station.
    Fine aggregate - Locally available river sand is used as fine
    aggregate. The properties of the fine aggregates are
    determined by conducting tests as per IS: 2386-part 3 and IS
    383-1970.
    Coarse aggregates - Locally available crushed granite
    coarse aggregates are used in this study the tests for
    physical properties on coarse aggregates are conducted as
    per IS: 383-1970.
