High performance concretes of high compressive strength are finding increasing applications in many fields of construction such as core walls and columns in tall buildings, long-span bridges and marine structures. In thick cross-sections, the high binder contents of some high strength concretes can
Good workability at construction site is essential for high quality concrete since concretes of bad workability are prone to yield low strength and poor durability properties since placement and consolidation procedures cannot be performed properly. Nevertheless, this is what usually encountered in
The effects of silica fume and aggregate size on the softening response and brittleness of high strength concretes were investigated by measuring the fracture energy GF, the characteristic length l,, and brittleness index B. Based on the fracture tests and microscopic studies at the aggregate-matrix
