The material is typically formulated by combining portland cement, supplementary cementitious materials, reactive powders, limestone and or quartz flour, fine sand, high-range water reducers, and water.
Application
High –strength concrete is used in the construction of,
✦ Highway bridges.
✦ Concrete griders.
✦ Construction of more than 30 stories buildings.
Properties
✦ The material can be formulated to provide compressive strengths in excess of 29,000 pounds per square inch (psi) (200 MPa).
✦ The use of fine materials for the matrix also provides a dense, smooth surface valued for its aesthetics and ability to closely transfer form details to the hardened surface.
