High-Performance Concretes

A State-of-Art Report (1989-1994)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The authors prepared in 1991 a state-of-the-art report as the first task of their research on high performance concrete sponsored by the Strategic Highway Research Program of the National Research Council. The report, covering the period from 1974 to 1989, was based on critical reviews of selected references from an annotated bibliography compiled by the authors.

Since the publication of the two previous documents, there has been a phenomenal increase in the development and use of high performance concrete. This report is a sequel to the previous state-of-the-art report and covers the six-year period from 1989 to 1994. The authors followed the same approach in preparing this publication by reviewing selected references from a second annotated bibliography, compiled by the authors and published recently by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as a separate document. The authors are solely responsible for the content of the report and for any errors and omissions.

The authors would like to thank FHWA for the financial support provided for this project. They are indebted to Thomas J. Pasko, Jr. and Louis Colucci who served as the FHWA contacts. The draft of this report was critically reviewed by Thomas J. Pasko, Jr., Louis Colucci and Susan N. Lane. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.
