HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE USED FOR HIGH CONSISTENCY

Abstract

It is well known that fire still remains as the most serious to most buildings or structures. High strength concrete is known as result of ongoing research to optimize concrete mixing and to make important contributions to enhanced quality and efficiency in the construction. This study has been carried out to understand more briefly the effect of high strength concrete. Changes temperature can produce stresses in concrete structures. The stresses are produced only when thermal expansion or contraction is restrained and this will affect the strength of concrete. When concrete is exposed to high temperature, the main problem which will encounter is spalling.
