ABSTRACT
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), is a modern concrete technology that has gained popularity recently. It has very high compressive strength, ranging from 120 MPa to over 180 MPa. Numerous research studies on the mechanical properties of UHPC have been conducted, including compressive and tensile strength, durability, low porosity, and high resistance to abrasion, impact, chemical attack, and exposure to environmental conditions. Many of the UHPC mixtures used have a commercial name, which is delivered as a sold-ready mix package from the manufacturer. In this paper, an experimental program was conducted to investigate the effect of mixture material proportions on producing (UHPC). Fourteen trial mixtures were tested to achieve the maximum possible compressive strength using different types and proportions of constituents that were available locally and comparable to the ready mix. The materials used in this research were: cement, micro silica, crushed quartz, silica sand, calcium carbonate, crushed basalt, steel fiber, and three different types of superplasticizer additives. The maximum compressive strength of UHPC obtained from the trial mixture reached 123.6 MPa at 28 days of age.
