Optimization of ultra-high-performance concrete by the use of a packing model
F. de Larrard,Thierry Sedran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented two models allowing to predict the packing density of a particle mix, derived from the Mooney's suspension viscosity model, and made a selection of mixes with the help of the Solid Suspension Model, and tests are performed in order to verify that the mix obtained is definitely optimal.
