Modified Formula for Designing Ultra-High-Performance Concrete with Experimental Verification
The main purpose of the study was to propose a modification of Larrard’s formula for both the design and compressive-strength evaluation of ultra-high-performance concrete. The proposed modification consisted of the introduction of new parameters into the original formula that allowed it to consider...

| description | The main purpose of the study was to propose a modification of Larrard’s formula for both the design and compressive-strength evaluation of ultra-high-performance concrete. The proposed modification consisted of the introduction of new parameters into the original formula that allowed it to consider the amount of binders and fine-grained aggregates, the amount of reinforcing fibers, the specimen shape and size, the curing time, and a reinterpretation of the water/cement ratio. The proposed modification was verified based on comparative analysis with the results of our own experimental studies and results taken from the literature. A very good convergence of these results was demonstrated, indicating the validity of the proposed modification. |
