LOW WATER TO CEMENT RATIO CONCRETES
COMPRESSIVE AND FLEXURAL STRENGTHS, DIMENSIONAL CHANGES, AND FREEZE-THAW RESISTANCE OF CONCRETES MADE WITH LOW WATER TO CEMENT RATIOS WERE EVALUATED. IN ADDITION, EXPLORATORY STUDIES OF THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF LOW WATER CONTENT CEMENT-AGGREGATE- ADMIXTURE SYSTEMS WERE PERFORMED. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT, UNDER WELL-CONTROLLED CONDITIONS, WORKABLE CONCRETE MIXES CAN BE OBTAINED WITH W/C RATIOS AS LOW AS 0.28. ADDITIONALLY, CONCRETES HAVING NOT ONLY HIGHER STRENGTH, BUT BETTER FREEZE-THAW RESISTANCE AND OTHER ENGINEERING PROPERTIES COULD BE OBTAINED. UNSOLVED PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH PRODUCTION OF LOW WATER TO CEMENT RATIO CONCRETES ARE BRIEFLY DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
