EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE BEHAVIOR OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

Abstract

High-strength concrete, which is distinguished by its increased compressive strength and longevity, is essential in modern building. High-strength concrete (HSC) has gained popularity in the building sector due to its superior mechanical qualities and endurance when compared to traditional concrete. Present work evaluates recent experimental studies on the behavior of high-strength concrete (HSC). Present research findings are a step to explore insights into the mechanical characteristics, durability, and performance of HSC under diverse loading and environmental situations. Key experimental approaches, including as material characterization, mixture design, and testing protocols, are examined to emphasize their contributions to understanding HSC behavior. The present work examines growing trends and problems in HSC research, as well as potential research options for improving the design and use of high-strength concrete in construction applications. The introduction discusses the significance of HSC in current construction projects, focusing on its use in high-rise buildings, bridges, and infrastructure projects. The review's aims are outlined, including a summary of recent experimental research on HSC behavior, identification of major discoveries and methodology, and discussion of implications for engineering practice and research.
