ABSTRACT
UHPC from conventional reinforced concrete are the improved compressive strength, the tensile strength, the addition of steel
fibers, and the resistance to corrosion and degradation. UHPC (ultra-high performance concrete) is a relatively new type of
concrete that exhibits mechanical properties that are far superior to those of conventional concrete and high performance
concrete. As the construction of super-high structures and long span structures increases all over the world, strength, and
stiffness of structures are being improved by applying Ultra-high strength concrete. With such trends, demands to use 100Mpa or
Ultrahigh strength concrete more than that are anticipated to spread out. The load strain relationship was evaluated based on
strain measured by strain gauges on the concrete and rebar surfaces. Negative strain represents compressive strain and positive
strain represent tensile strain. Positive to negative change represents the propagation of tensile cracks from the bottom face to
the top face or by upward shift of neutral axis of the cross-section.

INTRODUCTION
Generally, grades have been done as M-10 to M-20 ordinary concrete, M-25 to M-55 standard concrete, M-60 to M-80 High
Performance concrete and now a new grade has also developed as Ultra High Performance Concrete. It is a highly ductile material
formulated by combining Portland cement, silica fumes, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high water reducing agent, water, and steel
or organic fibers.
The main objective of the study is to analyze the comparison of deflection among different types of concretes such as M30, M60,
M80, M100 (UHPC) which clearly shows the deflection is minimum only in case of ultra high performance concrete.
METHODOLOGY
The results obtained from the testing of various specimens of beams cast is included in this experimental program is presented
and discussed. The results recorded for each test included the only measurement of deflection. The observed crack pattern, load
propagation and mode of failure at ultimate load are reported. The testing of the beam specimens was grouped into three series.
Series-1 consisted of total 10-beam:8-beams with dimension of150mm*200mm by 1600mmmade of a concrete grade of 2-beam
of M-30, 2-beam of M-60, 2-beam of M-80 and 2-beams with dimension of 150mm*300mm by 2100mm1beam is made of M-
100 and 1-beam is made of M-80 and series-2 consisted of 4-beams with dimension of 150mm*200mm by2000mm2-beam is
made of M-80. In the series of various beam specimen tested, the variable investigated cracks, cracking pattern and failure load
represent the deflection.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The test was performed on different grades M30, M60, M80, and M100 the observed values were taken for the formation of
graphs depends upon their maximum load due to which deflection occurs.
