INTRODUCTION
What is HSC ? (HPC) – high performance concrete

Concrete with a characteristic compressive strength of at least 55 MPa (C55/65)

Red : outside the domain of EN 1992-1-1 !!

 HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE March 2011 4

INTRODUCTION
How do we obtain a high compressive strength ?

High cement ratio

Low water cement factor(0,30 / 0,35)

High dosage of additives – water reducing admixtures

fly-ash and silica fume (SiO2) – < 1 m

Aggregates should be strong and durable, smaller maximum size and coarse aggregate

INTRODUCTION
How do we obtain UHSC ?

No coarse aggregates

Replace sand with very fine quartz(< 800 m)

Steel fibers

Density > 2800 kg/m³

INTRODUCTION
Application - Use
Slender constructions

Smooth surfaces

Less material

Pre-stressed concrete (bridges)

Enhance the durability

Heavy duty industrial floors

Puts concrete into service at much earlier age (35 MPa after 16 hrs)

Impermeability against fluids ( x10)

Fire resistance : spalling danger is high
