High Strength Concrete is now more frequently used in construction, with designers and contractors continuing to push for higher strength and more specialized performance requirements. However, construction with high strength concrete is actually a complicated process that must be specified, designed, proportioned, placed, and tested correctly to perform as intended. This session is intended to educate viewers on the successes and challenges associated with high strength concrete construction through the use of case studies. This session will be of benefit for all parties involved with concrete construction including engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, suppliers, testing agencies, and owners/building managers.

The contents of this course include four recorded presentations from the ACI 2023 Spring Convention:
• Automated Admixture Management for High-Strength Concrete; Nathan Tregger, GCP Applied Technologies
• The Grand Los Angeles – 13,000 psi Concrete; Kenneth Sears, Orca Aggregates, A Vulcan Materials Company
• High Strength Concrete from a Ready Mix Suppliers Perspective; Thomas McCurry, Doan Companies
• Testing High Strength Concrete: Tweaks from Typical Testing Approaches; Walter Flood IV, Flood Testing Laboratories Inc.

1. Identify current applications of high-strength concrete in construction, including cases of ongoing projects.
2. Recall the unique challenges associated with the implementation and testing of high-strength concrete on projects.
3. Discuss logistics and planning associated with the use of high-strength concrete, including capabilities and available materials.
4. Identify available options to successfully use high-strength concrete for building construction, from design to construction considerations.
