High-Performance Concrete Research to Practice
Also Known As:
ACI SP-189:2000, also known as "High-Performance Concrete Research to Practice," is a publication that contains 25 papers presented at a symposium on High-Performance Concrete (HPC). The papers cover various topics related to HPC, including HPC bridges, HPC structural lightweight concrete, material science of HPC, and structural safety of HPC.
The publication is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of HPC. Chapter 1 discusses the design and construction issues of HPC bridges, including structural design, mixture proportioning, and placement techniques. Chapter 2 focuses on high-performance structural lightweight concrete and includes papers on evaluating the performance of lightweight concrete in ships and low-density HPC.
Chapter 3 explores the material science of HPC and includes papers on studying the microstructure of cement pastes, percolation aspects of cement paste and concrete, and measuring three-dimensional damage of mortar using x-ray microtomography. This chapter also covers topics such as fatigue crack growth mechanisms in mortars, optimizing interfacial properties of high-performance fiber reinforced concrete, and the influence of loading on corrosion and mechanical response of reinforced concrete elements.
Chapter 4 discusses the application of HPC in transportation structures, with papers on the impact of shrinkage-reducing admixture on the properties and performance of bridge deck concrete and factors influencing durability and early-age cracking in high-strength concrete structures.
Finally, Chapter 5 focuses on the structural safety assessment of HPC and includes papers on modeling uncertainties in high-strength concrete columns and the strength of HPC in columns and the effect of placing methods.
