DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF A TYPE OF HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE MADE WITH SAND, VERY FINELY GROUND CEMENT AND SURFACE-ACTIVE AGENTS. IT ALSO HAS HIGH FROST RESISTANCE, IS WATERPROOF AND RESISTANT TO WEAR. THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES A BATCH OF PRESTRESSED PLATES MANUFACTURED WITH THIS CONCRETE, AND GIVES DATA ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS USED, VIBRATORY TAMPING AND STEAM CURING. SEVERAL EXPERIMENTAL SECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED WITH THESE PLATES LAID ON SAND AND SOIL-CEMENT FOUNDATIONS. LOADING TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT.
