Abstract:
Discusses the principles involved in producing high-strength concrete and presents some results of tests of the mechanical strength of mortars with different components and compositions. Using pure portland cement, silica fume, superplasticizer, normal aggregates, and steel fiber, mortar with compressive strength of about 200 MPa was obtained
