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.
