High performance concrete (HPC) is produced in order to meet several requirements which are crucial for the successful construction of buildings in special circumstances. The performance requirements of HPC may involve improvement of concrete placement and compaction without segregation, long-term ...

Mix Design of High Strength Concrete -Methods, Procedure and Example
Mix design of high strength concrete is influenced by properties of cement, sand aggregates & water-cement ratio have compressive strength above 40 MPa. To achieve high strength, it is necessary to use lowest possible water-cement ratio, which invariably affects the ...
MIX FOR HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
Mix for High Strength Concrete In order to obtain high strength of concrete, three methods are available in general. The first is to increase the strength of the binder, the second is to select aggregate with high strength, and the ...
COARSE AGGREGATES IN HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
COARSE AGGREGATES IN HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE Given the critical role that the interfacial transition plays in high-strength concrete, the mechanical properties of coarse aggregate will have a more pronounced effect than they would in conventional-strength concrete. Important parameters of coarse ...
PROPORTIONING OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
When developing mixture proportioning for high-strength concrete, three fundamental factors must be considered in order to produce a mix design satisfying its intended property requirements: Mechanical properties of the aggregates, Mechanical properties of the paste, Bond strength at the paste-aggregate ...
Curing of High Performance Concrete -Methods and Duration of Curing
Curing of High Strength Concrete High Performance Concrete has very low water-cement ratio and better particle distribution due to the use of mineral admixtures, which result in significantly less pore per unit volume of cementitious materials in the mixture than ...
