Design of High-Strength Concrete for Ready-Mixed Concrete Production
The high-strength concrete is a cement composite reaching high compressive strength, namely, pursuant to the legislation, higher than 60 MPa in the terms of cube compressive strength. The development of high-strength concretes exceeding 100 MPa is still an up-to-date issue and the production of these concretes is still limited only to a prefabrication. Contemporary construction industry and projecting activity have begun to focus on a construction of statically demanding buildings, which can include e.g. high-rise buildings. Such projecting often requires using of the state-of-the-art materials like cement composites with high mechanical parameters for construction of more subtle buildings. Within this article, the procedure of ready-mixed concretes development with the compressive strength around 100 MPa designed according to a project documentation for actual construction of high-rise building with the height up to 160 meters and 46 floors is described, together with the influence of the aggregate on the resulting composite strength.
