Title: FUTURE RESEARCH TRENDS IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE: COST-EFFECTIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Accession Number: 00740638
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: High-performance concrete (HPC) prepared on the basis of eugenic considerations (cost-effectiveness and life-cycle length) is proposed to resolve actual concrete problems. HPC is safe, durable, workable, economical, and ecologically sound. Concrete in Taiwan is always designed with large amounts of water and paste (even though it is generally accepted that the concrete will tend to crack and deteriorate). Therefore, HPC with fewer problems is the target of ongoing research. Eugenic HPC is produced from ordinary concrete, superplasticized concrete, pozzolanic concrete, and high-flowing concrete. Without the drawbacks of past forms of concrete, eugenic HPC is a better construction material on the basis of individual material characteristics. The characteristics of eugenic HPC are presented and illustrated by two high-rise buildings in Taiwan constructed with high-flowing HPC.
