The Ultra-high Performance Cementitious Composites (UHPCC) is a relatively new type of cementitious material that exhibits exceptional properties. With a low water-to-binder ratio, high content of high-range water reducers, fine aggregates, and high-strength steel or organic fibers, UHPCC stands out as a promising construction cement-based material for civil and military structures. Its remarkable mechanical characteristics, including high compressive and tensile strength, high ductility, and high fracture energy, make it highly suitable for resisting high-speed projectile penetration, low-velocity impact, and blast loadings.
In this comprehensive book, the authors present their extensive research on the static and dynamic mechanical properties, as well as the impact and blast resistance of UHPCC. The book is designed to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of protective structures and terminal ballistics.
The introduction provides an overview of UHPCC, its composition, and the challenges faced in developing high-performance cementitious materials. It highlights the significance of UHPCC in modern construction and its potential applications in various sectors.
Chapter 1 delves into the synthesis and characterization of UHPCC, discussing the selection of raw materials, mixing techniques, and the optimization of their properties. The chapter explores the effects of different additives on the mechanical performance of UHPCC, such as water reducers, superplasticizers, and fibers. It also discusses the role of curing conditions in shaping the microstructure and properties of UHPCC.
Chapter 2 focuses on the mechanical properties of UHPCC, including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and fracture energy. The chapter examines the influence of various factors, such as binder content, curing conditions, and the presence of fibers, on the mechanical behavior of UHPCC. It also discusses the development of mechanical models and the use of experimental methods to evaluate the mechanical properties of UHPCC.
Chapter 3 explores the impact and blast resistance of UHPCC, discussing the mechanisms behind its resistance to high-speed projectile penetration, low-velocity impact, and blast loadings. The chapter examines the use of UHPCC in protective structures, such as blast walls and shelters, and its effectiveness in mitigating the effects of explosive events. It also discusses the development of numerical models and experimental techniques to simulate the behavior of UHPCC under impact and blast loads.
Chapter 4 discusses the durability and maintenance of UHPCC, including the effects of environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and chemical exposure, on its performance. The chapter explores the use of protective coatings and surface treatments to enhance the durability and longevity of UHPCC. It also discusses the development of maintenance strategies and the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of UHPCC structures.
Chapter 5 summarizes the key findings and conclusions of the book. It highlights the importance of UHPCC in modern construction and its potential applications in various sectors. It also provides recommendations for future research and development in the field of UHPCC.
In conclusion, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the Ultra-high Performance Cementitious Composites (UHPCC). It offers valuable insights into the synthesis, characterization, mechanical properties, impact and blast resistance, durability, and maintenance of UHPCC. The book is intended to serve as a reference for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of protective structures and terminal ballistics.
