Size effect on compressive strength of reactive powder concrete

In this paper the coefficient and law of the size effect of RPC were studied through experiments and theoretical analysis. The size-effect coefficients for the compressive strength of RPC are deduced through experiments.They indicate that RPC without fiber behaves quite the same as normal or high strength concrete.The size effect on compressive strength is more prominent in RPC containing fiber.Bazant’s size effect formula of compressive strength applies to RPC.A formula is given to predict the compressive strength of cubic RPC specimens 100 mm on a side where the fiber dosage ranges from 0-2%.
