PRODUCTION OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE. FINAL RESEARCH REPORT

The main objective of this research program was to establish criteria for selection of materials and their proportions to achieve uniform, economical, high-quality concrete with a compressive strength between 9000 and 12000 psi at 56 days using 6-in.-dia. x 12-in. cylinders cast in steel molds. In this study, the research approach was to investigate the basic interactions among concrete components in mix proportions which are suitable for producing high strength concrete. Approximately 2500 concrete specimens were made and tested as part of this study. Valuable guidelines were established to be followed by practicing engineers in the development of trial mixes for producing high strength concrete.
