Significance of Paste Content on Workability, Mechanical Performance, and Microstructure of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete

Abstract

AbstractThis paper addresses the significance of paste content (Pc) and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio on the performance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) by considering the flow, degree of hydration (DOH), compressive strength, pore volume, and ...Practical ApplicationsIn designing ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), one of the primary challenges lies in selecting optimal mix parameters that balance compressive strength and workability. This study highlights the critical role of paste content, ...
