Abstract:
As concrete compressive strengths have increased, many other concrete properties have improved as well. Many of the methods for obtaining what is called high-strength concrete also improve such qualities as durability, workability, shear strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. The view is presented that it is just as important, and sometimes more important, to consider these other qualities when designing a concrete mix.
