HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE. SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
The Second International Symposium on Utilization of High Strength Concrete was held in Berkeley, California, U.S.A., May, 1990. This volume is a collection of the papers presented at the Second International Symposium. The papers are arranged according to the following topics: Design; Material Selection and Proportioning; Material Performance; Lightweight Concrete; and Applications. There are 38 papers. The participants were surveyed to identify areas of consensus and areas where additional research is needed. There is a clear consensus that high strength concrete is exceptionally durable and readily obtainable in commercial practice. Use of silica fume, blast furnace slag cement, and other mineral and chemical admixtures can be particularly helpful in achieving the desired properties for the concrete. But, appropriate test methods need to be developed and there is a need for better understanding of in situ mechanical properties and overall structural ductility.
