Compressive stress-strain relationship of limestone calcined clay cement-based UHPC matrix by Kunjie Fan, Peng Du, Yao Yao

“…With the optimal mix, the 28-day compressive strength of 104 MPa can be achieved without employing any special curing, silica fume or fibers. Furthermore, adding an appropriate amount of LC2 (no more than 30 %) to UHPC matrix is found to reduce the nonlinearity of compressive stress-strain relationships, thereby minimizing the plastic deformation of LC3-UHPC matrix. …”

An integrated strength-carbon emissions-total cost model for silica fume concrete by Li-Yi Meng, Yi-Sheng Wang, Feng Sun, Runsheng Lin, Xiao-Yong Wang

“…Through linear regression, a compressive strength prediction formula for SF concrete with varying water-cementitious material mass ratios (0.79–0.45), different SF contents (0–20 %), and curing ages (1–365 days) was developed. The correlation coefficient between the test results and the predicted results was 0.979, and the root mean square error was 4.395 MPa. sondly, based on the mix ratio, the material cost and CO₂ emissions of concrete per 1 MPa strength were calculated. …”
