    This presentation discusses high-strength concrete (HSC), which has a compressive strength over 6000 psi after 28 days. HSC uses admixtures like superplasticizers to achieve lower water-cement ratios around 0.4. It is used in long-span bridges, tall buildings, and industrial floors. The presentation covers the constituents of HSC including high-quality cement, fine aggregates with a fineness modulus below 2.5, and strong coarse aggregates. It also examines the mechanical properties of HSC, noting its higher elastic modulus and tensile strength compared to normal concrete. The stress-strain curve of HSC indicates less internal cracking and failure by aggregate fracture.

    The key takeaways are that high strength concrete is concrete with a compressive strength greater than 6000 psi at 28 days. It differs from high performance concrete and has applications in long span bridges, tall buildings, and industrial floors. Its constituents and mechanical properties are also discussed.

    High strength concrete is generally defined as concrete with a compressive strength greater than 6000 psi (41 MPa) at 28 days. The definition can vary based on location and time period.

    The main constituents of high strength concrete are Type I-V cement, superplasticizers to improve workability at low water-cement ratios, and high quality fine and coarse aggregates.

    Group Assignment #1: Scope


    Having done a group literature study on High-Strength
    Concrete (HSC), this presentation has been prepared to
    appreciate the following:
    Precisely, what is High-Strength Concrete?
    How does HSC differ from High Performance
    Concrete?
    What are the constituents of HSC ?
    What are the mechanical properties of this type of
    concrete?
    How different are stress-strain relationships of HSC
    when compared to types of concrete?

    1.0 Brief on high strength concrete


    Definition is based on time and geographical location
    (ACI 363R, 1997).
    Generally, High-Strength Concrete (HSC) refers to
    concrete in excess of 6000psi (41MPa) at 28 days
    Wight and MacGregor (2012).
    Admixtures such as super plasticers among others
    used to improve the dispersion of cement in the mix
    and produce workable concrete with much lower
    water cement (w/c) ratios of 0.4 or less.
    HSC is only one type of HPC

    Applications of HSC
    Long span bridges
    Tall buildings
    Industrial floors

    2.0 Constituents of HSC


    Similar to conventional but must be of higher quality and
    properties should be tested by use of trial mixes.
    Cement (Type I V) (ASTM C150)
    Workable concrete with low w/c is made possible through
    the use of large amounts of super plasticizers. High cement
    contents can be expected to result in high temperature rise
    within the concrete (ACI 363R, 1997).
    However, when the temperature rise is expected to be a
    problem, a Type IV low heat of hydration (low C3S) is
    recommended provided it meets the strength-producing
    requirements.

    Constituents of HSC contd


    Aggregates
    Fine aggregates with a fineness modulus below 2.5 gives a
    sticky consistency however a modulus of 3.0 gives the best
    workability.
    Aggregate strength becomes increasingly important as
    target strength increases, particularly in the case in the case
    of high-strength concrete (Caldarone, 2009) ITZ
    In conventional concrete; common for aggregates to be
    stronger and stiffer than the paste. Aggregate strength not a
    critical factor! Reverse is true for HSC

    Tensile Splitting Strength
    Methods of determining tensile splitting strength
    1. Direct tension. Pure tensile force , free from eccentricities, difficult to
    achieve
    2. Indirectly by splitting tensile. Most commonly used
    3. Flexure (modulus of rupture) - Used as well
    Notes for tensile strength Dewar (1964):
    Normal concrete
    10% of compressive strength
    High-strength concrete
    10% of compressive strength up 84MPa but may be reduced to
    5% for higher strengths

    3.0 Mechanical Properties Contd


    Fatigue Strength
    To the extent that is known, the fatigue strength of highstrength concrete is the same as that for concretes of lower
    strengths (Bennet and Muir, 1967)
    Shrinkage and Creep
    According to test data the creep coefficient, Ct, for high
    strength concrete is considerably less than normal concrete
    (ACI 363R, 1997). The creep of high-strength concrete made
    with high-range water reducers is reported to be decreased
    significantly.
    Shrinkage of HSC is similar to that of conventional concrete.
