Reactive Powder Concrete is a budding composite material which has created a platform for the industry to optimize materials for economic profit and building structures that are strong and durable in nature . In early 1990’s , Bouygues’ lab in France introduced RPC to the world . RPC represents a new class of ultra high performance concrete with compressive strengths in range of 180MPa . RPC does not include any coarse aggregates and but has steel fibersto enhance the strength.RPC includes Portland cement, silica fume, fine sand, Superplasticizer, water and steel fibers. In this study, RPC is developed using metakaolin as replacement for cement to achieve target compressive strength more than 120MPa.Refference:
