High-strength concrete: a practical guide
"High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. - Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. - Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life. - "High-Strength Concrete is illustrated with real world examples through …

Summary
"High-strength concrete offers many benefits. Higher compressive strengths allow for a reduction in the cross-sectional dimensions of columns and walls in buildings. - Its greater stiffness allows for increasing building heights while controlling sway and occupant comfort. - Civil structures such as bridges have benefited from greater span lengths, shallower beam sections, wider girder spacing, and extended service life. - "High-Strength Concrete is illustrated with real world examples through documented case histories, and provides an understanding of the practical means and methods for designing, producing, and using high-strength concrete. - It will suit contractors, producers, inspection agencies, as well as engineers and researchers."--Jacket.
