Abstract:
Summarizes the results of a workshop on high-performance concrete (HPC) cosponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the American Concrete Institute. Identifies technical and institutional barriers that impede the widespread use of HPC and recommends actions to overcome these barriers. The recommended research is proposed as the basis for developing a national program to exploit the potential of HPC and assure U.S. competence in concrete technology.
