PCA RESEARCH ON HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE

This is a review of Portland Cement Association-sponsored research on high-strength, normal-weight concrete. The study was an effort to address the need for technological information about high-strength concrete applications for prestressed members, buildings, and bridges, and in situations where durability rather than strength is the primary concern. High-strength concrete for prestressed members is considered, as well as high-strength concrete for buildings. Materials development, structural design, time-dependent deformations, and fire endurance are covered. High-strength concrete for permeability, and freeze-thaw resistance are also covered. Areas for future research are noted.
