High strength and modulus of elasticity (MOE) are critical requirements for the high-rise buildings dotting our cities. Often with incredible steel rebar congestion, the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a common choice to ensure proper filling of column and floor forms. This session will discuss the challenges in achieving high strength and MOE that can arise when using SCC, including constructability, and quality control testing.

The contents of this course include 6 recorded presentations from the ACI 2023 Fall Convention:
• Strength and Modulus of High-Strength Concrete in New England; Brett Holland
• Testing of MOE - First Hand Experience from Real World Projects; Walter Flood IV, Flood Testing Laboratories Inc.
• Structural Performance of Heavily-Reinforced Columns Cast with Self-Consolidating Concrete; Kamal Khayat, Missouri S&T
• High Performance SCC — The Precast Perspective; Benjamin Cota, GCP Applied Technologies
• Challenges in Testing High MOE Concrete; Benjamin Birch, CTL Group
• Achieving Modulus of Elasticity for High Strength SCC in Practice; Lloyd Keller, EllisDon

1. Recall challenges when implementing high-strength concrete with high MOE requirements.
2. Develop proper expectations and considerations when implementing a testing and acceptance program for high-strength concrete with high MOE requirement.
3. Review example applications of high-strength concrete with high MOE requirements, including real case studies.
4. Identify key protocols and pre-qualifications that contribute to successful implementation of high-strength concrete with high MOE requirements.
