High Strength Concrete - rahul saini - 12-08-2014

High Strength Concrete - ‘concrete with a compressive strength greater than that covered by current codes and standards’.

High Strength Concrete is made possible by the introduction of efficient water-reducing admixtures and high strength
cementitious materials.  

The factors that govern the strength of concrete  are : 

• The properties of the cement paste
• The properties of the transition zone between the paste and the aggregate
• The properties of the aggregate
• The relative proportions of the constituent materials.
