Title: MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES. STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM PRODUCTS. PROCEEDINGS OF A SPECIALTY CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY THE HIGHWAY DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS AND THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION. DENVER MARRIOTT CITY CENTER HOTEL, DENVER, COLORADO, APRIL 8-10, 1991
Abstract: The objectives of this 4-year research project are: to obtain needed information which fills gaps in the present knowledge, and to synthesize this information in a form that is directly useful to highway engineers; and to develop new significantly improved engineering criteria for the mechanical properties and behavior of high performance concretes, and to provide recommendations and guidelines for using these concretes in highway applications according to the intended use, required properties, environment, and service. The research program consists of 4 major tasks: evaluation and interrelationship of the mechanical properties of concrete; use of high performance concrete; effects of field conditions; and recommendations and guidelines. The primary focus of the first years work was the first task, the goal of which was to conduct a critical literature review relative to the properties and behavior of high performance concrete, to identify any significant gaps in the knowledge base, and to use the findings to develop a work plan for the second task. The products of Task I are noted.
