Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious, concrete material that has a minimum specified compressive strength of 17,000 pounds per square inch (120 MPa) with specified durability, tensile ductility and toughness requirements; fibers are generally included in the mixture to achieve specified requirements.Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), is also known as reactive powder concrete (RPC). The…

Concrete Core Testing: Sampling and Test Procedure
Concrete core test is a very famous and well-established testing method for the compressive strength of the hardened concrete. Concrete core testing enables visual inspection of the interior regions of the concrete member which is also related to strength estimation. Concrete coring also enables to evaluate other properties of reinforced concrete framed structure by concrete core test. In…
