18. 1.2 State of the Art 1.2.1 Materials High-strength concrete: In 2009, the highest compressive strength 130 MPa was realized in a 220–m-high, 58-story building, the Union Plaza in Seattle, Washington High-performance concrete: In 1990s, a new “concrete” with a compressive strength higher than 200 MPa was developed in France, it was called the ultra-high-strength (performance) concrete (UHSC) Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is another example High-strength steel rebars: 500 MPa steel rebars were recommended as the reinforcement of RC structures by current Chinese design code

19. 1.2 State of the Art 1.2.1 Materials Fiber-reinforced concrete: Concrete containing mortar, aggregate, and discrete fibers Heavyweight concrete for radiation shielding: Unite weight is 3360 to 3840kg/m3 Lightweight concrete: Unite weight is less than 1950kg/m3 Mass concrete: Concrete in a massive structure

20. 1.2 State of the Art 1.2.1 Materials Mechanical behaviors of concrete materials and steel rebars have been deeply understood But the deterioration performances of concrete materials and steel rebars with time have not been studied deeply

21. 1.2 State of the Art 1.2.2 Structural members The failure mechanisms of concrete structural members under tension, compression and bending can be understood, and the failure processes can be modeled and theoretically predicted well The failure mechanisms of concrete structural members under shear and torque can be understood, and the failure processes can be modeled and theoretically predicted approximately But the deterioration performances of concrete structural members with time have not been studied deeply

22. 1.2 State of the Art 1.2.3 Structural systems The plastic behaviors of structural systems can be analyzed based on the behavior of plastic hinges or plastic hinge lines But the collapse or damage process of concrete structural systems can not been simulated well
