300 mm. During the process of increasing the DCP content from 0%
to 25%, the UHPC’s flowability declines relatively slowly. But when
the content increases from 25% to 50%, there is a tendency for a
sharp linear decline. And when the DCP content is 50%, the UHPC
flowability reaches a minimum value of 100 mm, and the mixture is
difficult to flow in this case.
The above phenomenon can be attributed to the following two
points: 1) The formation of DCP requires high temperature treat-
ment, during which the CeSeH phase depolymerizes and tends to
exist as an oligomer (Piasta et al., 1984). As a result, DCP particles
have a larger specific surface area than cement particles. Due to its
higher surface area, the reconnected CeSeH gel in the early period
can easily forms and combines more non-evaporable water (Shui

strength per unit of the green UHPC means a greater amount of
carbon dioxide produced in the production of UHPC. From the re-
sults in the figure, it can be noticed that the addition of DCP is
beneficial for further improving the UHPC performance based on
sustainable point of view. For example, under the same strength
condition, the CO2 emission per unit volume of the green UHPC
incorporating DCP is lower than the reference sample, reflecting a
higher utilization rate of cement in green UHPC. Besides, as the DCP
content increases, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the
production of UHPC can be effectively reduced. Such as, for a classic
UHPC with only pure cement, the required CO2 per unit volume is
377 kg, and when the DCP content is added by 25%, the emissions
are significantly reduced to 298 kg. Generally, all the phenomena
mentioned above can be attributed to the following facts: 1) DCP is
generated from waste materials, and it consumes less resource and
energy during the production process, compared to cement; 2) DCP
has cementitious characteristics and a large amount of fine parti-
cles, which can effectively promote the cement hydration in UHPC.
In summary, on one hand, based on the experimental results
shown in this study, when the added DCP is about 25%, a high-
grade green UHPC with a very dense microstructure can be pro-
duced; On the other hand, DCP can be treated as a waste material,
and the addition of DCP can reduce the cost of UHPC and its impact
on the environment. Therefore, considering the effect of DCP on the
compressive strength, durability, microstructure and environ-
mental impact of UHPC simultaneously, the optimal content of DCP
in this study is about 25%. From an economic and environmental
perspective, using a suitable amount of DCP instead of cement to
produce UHPC can not only reduce the total amount of construction
waste in landfills, but also reduce the cost of UHPC and reduce the
impact of UHPC on the environment. It can be concluded that it is
reasonable to appropriately replace cement by DCP in producing a
green UHPC, which provide a new idea to generate new clean
product in the future.
