Size Effect on Compressive Strength and Modulus of Elasticity in High Performance Concrete

Abstract

This study undertook the research of size effect on compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, respectively. The parameters of this study are curing age and fly ash replacement ratio to investigate size effect of Type A (100mm x 200mm) and Type B (150mm x 300mm) specimens in high performance concrete. On this study, high performance concrete was fabricated with different FA contents of 10%, 20% and 30%. The measurements were performed on days 28 and 91.

Size Effect of High Performance Concrete with Blast Furnace Slag on Compressive Strength and Modulus of Elasticity

“…The properties of ordinary Portland concrete such as compressive strength and modulus of elasticity are influenced by size effect. The objective of this paper is to provide an experimental investigation of the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity for Type A (100 x 200 mm cylinder specimens) [1] and Type B (150 x 300 mm cylinder specimens) specimen in HPC containing blast furnace slag.…”
