High-Performance Concrete Defined for Highway Structures
The HPC (High Performance Concrete) definition presented here identifies a set of concrete performance characteristics sufficient to estimate long-term concrete durability and strength for highway structures. Standard laboratory tests, specimen preparation procedures, and grades of performance were suggested for each definition parameter. Relationships between performance and severity of field conditions were estimated to assist designers in selecting the grade of HPC for a particular project. Because there is a lack of information correlating field condition severity and laboratory performance, these relationships serve only as suggestions. Thus, this definition is a guide and identifies areas in which additional research is needed.
