Abstract:
Proposals for the design of high-performance high-strength concrete (HPHSC) structural members are presented. HPHSC is defined as concrete that meets special performance and uniformity requirements that cannot always be achieved by using only conventional materials and normal mixing, placing, and curing practices. These proposals, based on the state-of-the-art information, cover material properties as well as design methods for beams, columns, and walls for concrete grades in the range of 20 to 100 MPa (3 to 15 ksi).
