Advanced mechanical properties and frost damage resistance of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete

Compressive Strength and Durability Properties of Structural Lightweight Concrete with Fine Expanded Glass and/or Clay Aggregates

“…One of the ways to increase the strength of concrete is to use a fine aggregate in a concrete mixture by completely replacing the coarse aggregate. This is commonly used in production of high- and ultrahigh-strength concrete mixtures [4]. The application of the small diameter LWA (0.5–4 mm) in lightweight concrete allows the improvement of the homogeneity of concrete microstructures and the reduction of the possibility of segregation of the mixture [5].…”

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

“…Wroblewski et al outlined the durability of bond between concrete beams and FRP composites made of flax and glass fibers[141]. Vaitkevičius et al studied advanced mechanical properties and frost damage resistance of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete[142]. Aliabdo et al tried to utilize the waste glass powder in the production of cement and concrete[143].…”

“…The porosity of the matrix is usually reduced by adjusting the granulometric composition of the mixture and by introducing the microfillers. The most commonly used and most effective microfiller is silica fume, which can increase the compressive strength of concrete up to more than 140 MPa [4,10]. Other microfillers, such as fly ash, limestone, siliceous microfiller, micronized phonolite, metakaolin, glass powder, etc., may also be used for mixtures [11,12].…”
