MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES, VOLUME 1: SUMMARY REPORT

This report presents a summary of each phase of a 4-year research program of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), which examined the mechanical behavior of high performance concretes. For each phase of the research, the objective, scope, results, and conclusions are summarized. The report covers the literature search and review, the development of mixture proportions of three categories of high performance concrete, the laboratory studies and field trials of the concretes, and the laboratory studies of high early strength fiber reinforced concrete. An assessment is made of how the research met its objectives and what the limitations in some of the research are. The report also suggests removing certain limitations in some of the current specifications that prevent the use of high performance concrete and concludes with a list of future research needs. Two technical guides on the production and use of high performance concrete, as well as two proposed specifications for test methods are included in the appendixes.
