Title:       Optimizing mix proportions for Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) and investigating the compressive strength
Authors:   Faizan Akbar, Fawad Bilal, Zahoor Shah, Shams ul Khaliq
Abstract: In this paper a variety of mix proportions were prepared with varying different parameters.Thespecimens were tested for the compressive strength so as to get optimized mix design that would deliver the maximum performance in terms of compressive strength. A total of 54 cubes 3x3x3 inches were prepared.Specimens were treated with normal water as well as with hot water. The content of ingredients as well as the w-b ratio was also kept on changing, so as to get a better understanding. Results showed that the mix proportions with higher silica content and lower water-cement ratio delivered good results.
