Popis: The mix proportion, phase diagram components and mechanical properties of ultra-high performance mortar (UHPM) based on simplex-centroid design method were investigated. The effects of material components, sand/binder ratio (S/B) and water/binder ratio (W/B) on the strength and fluidity of UHPM were studied. Simultaneously, the relationship between water reducer dosage and slump flow of UHPM was investigated as well as the mix proportion design and performance prediction. The results showed that the simplex-centroid design method can be used to determine the relationship between influence factors and performance of UHPM. The differences of strength phase diagram for different mix proportion of UHPM were manifested in central position of minimum strength, strength contours and gradient, and position of maximum strength. There has a quadratic function relationship between water reducer dosage, slump flow and W/B. The slump flow of UHPM increases with the increase of water reducer dosage. The UHPM can be prepared based on simplex-centroid experimental design method.
