Abstract

Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is one of the important types of concrete technology breakthroughs in the 21st century. It achieved high results of mechanical properties, durability (resistance fire) and bonding strength. The aim of paper is to evaluate the long-time behavior of UHPC. The main variables were finesse modulus of sand, crushed quartz powder, fly ash and metakaolin and methods of curing (water& hot).The sand with different fineness modulus(3.2, 2.36 and 1.9) were used, Crushed quartz powder with ratio (10%, 20% and 30%) as a replacement of sand was used. Fly ash and metakaolin, with of (10%, 20%, 30 and 40%) and (5%, 10% and 15%) as a replacement of cement; respectively. The effect of these variables on the mechanical properties (compressive, tensile, flexural strength) at different ages. Also, the drying shrinkage strain was evaluated. The results showed that using and with fineness modulus (1.9), 20% ratio of crushed quartz powder to fine sand (CQ/S), 20% of fly ash to cement (FA/C) and 5% of metakaolin to cement (MK/C) give the best proportions of UHPC. The compressive strength for this mix was 900 kg/ cm2 .
