Review on Reactive Powder Concrete using different ingredients

Abstract

Reactive Powder Concrete is a developing composite material that will allow the concrete industry to optimize material use, Generate economic benefits, and build structures that are strong, durable,and sensitive to environment. RPC is a new ultra-high performance concrete with wide range of capabilities. RPC was developed in the 1990s by Bouygues' laboratory in France. RPC represents a new class of Portland cement-based material with compressive strengths of 200 MPa range. By introducing fine steel fibers RPC can achieve flexural strength up to 50 MPa. It has no coarse aggregates and contains small steel fibres that provide additional strength.RPC include Portland cement, silica flour, fine sand, superplastizer, water and steel fibres. The main object of this study is to check the effect of replacing silica fume  fly ash and percentage variation of steel fiber on reactive powder concrete, to achieve economy without any significant change in properties of RPC.
