High Strength Concrete - A Practical Guide





Preface

My purpose for writing this book is principally to provide those who

specify, produce, test, and construct with high-strength concrete practical

guidance about a material that continues to be viewed as mysterious, exotic,

and to some degree, even experimental. My hope is that this book will also

aid the reader in understanding the fundamental mechanics of how structural

concrete in general, not just high-strength concrete, works. High-strength

concrete is not a new material. The availability of commercially produced

high-strength concrete can be traced back to the late 1950s. In many markets

worldwide, the commercial availability of concretes capable of developing

compressive strength three to five times greater than typical conventional

concrete is well established. In other markets, high-strength concrete is still

considered novel.
