Abstract:

This report documents laboratory investigations of the mechanical behavior of high performance concrete for highway applications. Very high strength (VHS) concrete is one of the three categories of high performance concrete examined by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). The objective of this particular investigation is to obtain information on the mechanical behavior of VHS concrete. The laboratory investigation consisted of tests for both fresh or plastic concrete and hardened concrete. The plastic concrete tests included slump and air content. The hardened concrete tests included compression tests, tension tests, freezing-thawing tests, shrinkage tests, creep tests, rapid chloride permeability tests, AC impedance tests, and tests for bond between concrete and steel reinforcement.
