The present study investigates the properties of Ultra Performances Fiber-Reinforced concretes successful (UPFC), by the study of the incorporation effect of the glass powder on the physical, mechanical properties and the durability of concretes, as well as the influence of the various types of fibers reversed forecast the effect of Superplastisizer on the characteristics of the UPFC to the fresh and hardened state. The results of the tests show that the formulated UPFC with the contents of 0,5 and 1 % of the glass powder presents of better. Keywords: Concret, HUPFC, superplastisizer, glass powder, durability. INTRODUCTION The development of concretes in high and in ultra-high performances (HPC and UHPC) is a topical subject, for the multiple advantages using these materials allows towards the structural and economic performances. knowing the reduction of the heterogeneousness, obtained by the improvement of the matrix quality, so as to increase the density by it and minimize the differences of rigidity and resistance with regard to the aggregates. Our study licence the formulation, the characterization of the UPFC, the action of both types of glass powder (transparent and smoked) on the physical and mechanical properties. As well as the influence of incorporation of polypropylenes fibers. MATERIALS Cement The class of cement used is CPJ CEMII 42,5N MATINE, with grinding finesse (SSB) about 3555 cm 2 /g. with addition of 18% of limestone coming from ACC of LAFARGE Algeria. Physic-Mechanical characteristics of the cement used are in the table

4 Topic_J: Civil Engineering Applications RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The mechanical behavior of UHPFC (Ultra-High performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete) at the static charge was studied all in flexion strength ( 3 points) and in uniaxial compression on prismatic test cubes mm. Compressive Strength (a) (b) Fig. 2 - (a,b). Compressive strength of glass powder (ansparent and oked ) The first remarks from graph (Fig 2) shows that; - The compressive strength resistance varies between 52,5MPa to 85,7 MPa. - The Powder have physical and chemical roles [7]. - The interests resultants at 28 days of compressive resistance are (0,5% and 1% ) for ansparent Glass Powder, and for oked Glass Powder : - The smoked glass powder is important in comparison to the transparent powder

5 Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Integrity-Reliability-Failure Flexion Strength Fig. 3 - Flexion strength of glass powder (transparent and smoked ) [MPa] The smoked glass powder percentage are very important at 28 days, all them are better than the transparent powder The percentage interesting for the two type of glass is 1% even for fume and transparent. Sound Auscultation The measurement permit to characterize the physical homogeneity of concrete, and to locate the defects. Table 6 - Results of sound auscultation 0% F 0,5% F 1% F 1,5% F 2% F 0,5 % F 1% F 1,5% F 2% powder V (m/s) T (µ s) 74,7 69,4 71,9 70,4 71, ,9 68,9 All the Glass powder improve the homogeneity of concrete compare it to ordinary concrete. CONCLUSION The workability is improved in concrete with smoked glass powder better then transparent powder. Mechanical Characteristics behavior increased with addition off the glass powder (transparent and smoked) The acoustics properties improved with glass powder, confirm their quality and homogeneity
