Popis: This research deals with experimentally studied time-dependent deformations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced high performance concrete (HPFRC). The creep in compression and crack propagation of the new concrete compositions were determined. Several kind of concrete mixes adding microsilica and nanosilica have been made. For each composition cylinders with dimensions 190x47mm and Compact Tension (CT) specimens with dimensions 150x150x12mm were prepared. Concrete specimens were tested in a controlled constant temperature and with a constant level of moisture. Creep specimens were put into a creep lever test stand and subjected to a uniform, constant compressive load but CT specimens were subjected to a tension load. Deformations and crack mouth opening displacements were measured with extensometers. The compression strength and modulus of elasticity also were determined. The results have shown that nanosilica dont have significant influence on the high performance fiber reinforced concrete time-dependent behavior.
