Abstract
The building industry has been making extensive use of high-strength, high-performance concrete (HPC) for a significant amount of time. The production of a product that is more cost-effective, the provision of a technically viable solution, or a combination of the two are the key drivers for the selection of HPC. The creation of high-strength concrete often requires the addition of fly ash, silica fume, or slag. The strength improvement that may be achieved with these extra cementing ingredients cannot be achieved by adding more cement on its own. In most cases, the dose rates for include these extra cementing ingredients range from 5 percent to 20 percent or greater based on the mass of the cementing material. Some specifications only allow the use of up to 10 percent silica fume, unless there is evidence available indicating that concrete produced with a larger dosage rate will have satisfactory strength, durability, and volume stability. The evidence must be available before the specification can be changed. The incorporation of supplemental cementitious materials (SCM) into the HPC mix will not only contribute to a reduction in energy consumption and improved waste management, but it will also bring about greater sustainability.
