Abstract:
Reading and understanding a set of project specifications dealing with high-strength concrete is fairly simple. Unfortunately, providing a material that successfully complies with all of the requirements throughout the course of a project is far more difficult. This article deals with the beginning aspects of developing a suitable high-strength concrete, including the initial work that must be done in the laboratory and subsequent field work.
