    Reactive powder concrete is an ultra-high performance concrete with excellent durability and high strength. It was developed in the 1990s as a cement-based composite material with superior mechanical properties and high ductility. This study examines the effects of different curing techniques - normal water curing at 25°C and accelerated steam curing at 90°C - on the compressive strength of reactive powder concrete made with cement, quartz sand, fine sand, microsilica, steel fibers, aggregate, admixture, and water. The compressive strength of the reactive powder concrete samples tested ranged from 45 to 80 MPa depending on the curing method used.

    Abstract

    Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is the cement based material which is one of the type of
    ultra-high performance concrete or wecan say that it is an ultra-high strength concrete with an
    excellent durability. Reactive powder concrete is a new member inconcr
    ete family developed in 1990‘s with high ductility composite material and possess superior
    mechanical property. In this
    experimental investigation we study the functioning of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC)
    with different curing techniques,normal water curing of 25oC and accelerated steam curing at
    90 oC due to its different material properties and configuration andalso comparison of
    compressive strength between them. Elements of Reactive Powder Concrete used in this
    investigation areCement (ordinary Portland cement), crushed Quartz sand of 100
    –
    200 mesh and 250 mesh, fine sand , micro silica , steel fibers ,aggregate (8mm) , admixture ,
    pure water. Mix proportion in this paper is based on trial and error method and as according
    tothe chemical composition of ingredients. Compressive strength of reactive powder concrete
    goes up to 45-80 MPA in the presentinvestigation.
