| dc.description.abstract | The use of HSC for construction, especially for multi-story buildings, has become very common in industrialized and developing countries. In view of gaining popularity as a construction material, high strength concrete (HSC) properties are discussed in this paper. A brief review of literature is presented. The necessary ingredients of HSC such as fly ash, slag and silica fume which are mostly industrial byproducts make the product environmentally friendly. The main engineering properties of the HSC are also reviewed. | en_US |
