ABSTRACT
Modern concrete has been used for about 170 years, though large volumes of high strength concrete only came about in the last 20 to 30 years, while the application of super-high-strength concrete has only just started. Many of the testing methods and standards that have been set up are based primarily on ordinary concrete, with little consideration of the characteristics of high strength and super-high-strength concretes. Application of existing test methods for ordinary concrete adapted for testing high strength and super-high-strength concretes is obviously inappropriate. Therefore, in this book, some of the experimental results from literature data and the author’s research are presented for discussion.
