Original Abstract

Advances in knowledge and understanding of concrete at the microstructure level have led to the creation of another new generation of high-quality concrete. These types represent only a small part of the total world production, but they are still very important materials. High-performance concrete in a given region is always limited by economic conditions in order to be able to compete with conventional concrete. High-quality concretes include materials with excellent compressive strength, excellent durability or environmental resistance. The art of technologists is thus to find the best mixture of raw materials to achieve the lowest water-cement ratio, which has a large influence on the properties of concrete. It is necessary to maintain a water coefficient so that high-quality concrete can be laid, compacted and transported as easily as conventional concrete.
