APPLICATIONS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES. STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM PRODUCTS. PROCEEDINGS OF A SPECIALTY CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY THE HIGHWAY DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS AND THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION. DENVER MARRIOTT CITY CENTER HOTEL, DENVER, COLORADO, APRIL 8-10, 1991

The two principal applications in transportation of high performance concretes are the rapid repair of structures and the construction of structures with a longer service life than is now obtained with conventional concretes. Specific applications of such concretes for the rapid repair of structures include the installation of overlays, patching, and the replacement of sections of bridge decks and pavements. Parapets, median barriers, beams, and piers can also be repaired rapidly. The use is described of high performance ready mix concrete containing 10 bags/cubic yd of a special blended cement. The use of high performance ready mix concrete containing 8 to 9 bags/cubic yd of type III cement is also described. The requirements for increasing the use of high performance concretes in repair operations are discussed.
