HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

The high strength concrete (HSC) is a special type of concrete, whereas it can resist loads more than that normal strength concrete (NSC) and also, it can increase the speed of construction, early removal of formwork provides early strength and better performance, when compared to NSC. The High Strength Concrete is generally defined as concrete above M50.

Benefits & advantages of HS Concrete.

• Reduced maintenance and repair.
• The size of structural members like beams and columns are reduced since smaller sections are enough to carry high loads.
• Since the size of members are reduced the cost of formworks are less.
• In bridge construction the use of high strength concrete becomes inevitable because longer spans with minimum supports can be constructed.
• Construction of slabs and floors with thinner sections is made possible.
