Performance Benefits
less material
fewer beams
reduced maintenance
extended life cycle
aesthetics
Application
BRIDGES
HIGH RISE BUILDINGS
TUNNELS
PAVEMENTS
NUCLEAR STRUCTURES
Objectives
To put the concrete in to service at much earlier age, for
example opening the pavement at 3-days.
To build high-rise buildings by reducing column sizes
and increasing available space.
To build the superstructures of long-span bridges and to
enhance the durability of bridge decks.
To satisfy the specific needs of special applications
such as durability, modulus of elasticity, and flexural
strength. Some of these applications include dams,
grandstand roofs, marine foundations, parking garages,
and heavy industrial floors.
General Characteristics
High strength
High early strength
High modulus of elasticity
High abrasion resistance
Low permeability and diffusion
Resistance to chemical attack
Volume stability
Ease of placement
Advantages
Limitations
High Performance Concrete has to be manufactured and
placed much more carefully than normal concrete.
An extended quality control is required
In concrete plant and at delivery site, additional tests are
required. This increases the cost
Some special constituents are required which may not be
available in the ready mix concrete plants.
Conclusion
The water, cementitious materials, aggregates and chemical
admixtures all need to be proportioned effectively to deliver
the mix with the most desirable properties for placement,
finishing, curing, and hardened condition.
