Publication details: Washington DC Strategic Highway Research Program, 1993; SHRP-C-361, Description: 98 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P1408:361Location: Abstract: Describes a literature search and review, the development of mixture proportions of three categories of high performance concrete, the laboratory studies and field trials of the concretes, and the laboratory studies of high early strength fiber-reinforced concrete. Points out the need to remove certain limitations in some of the current specifications that prevent the use of high performance concrete, and concludes with a list of future research needs. Includes two technical guides for the production and use of high performance concrete and two proposed specifications for test methods.Describes a literature search and review, the development of mixture proportions of three categories of high performance concrete, the laboratory studies and field trials of the concretes, and the laboratory studies of high early strength fiber-reinforced concrete.
