Abstract:
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s current specifications for high-performance concrete are intended to give contractors greater flexibility with respect to selection of materials and mixture proportions, while ensuring the contractor bears the responsibility for the quality of the finished product and will be appropriately compensated for high or low quality. This paper presents test results and discusses construction issues related to past and current Ontario highway construction contracts employing this specification.
