High-strength concrete is concrete with a compressive strength of 50 to 100 MPa or higher. These special mixes are used for the construction of special purpose structures, as their high strength properties allow to significantly reduce the amount of concrete and reinforcing steel used in the reinforced concrete structures. High-strength concrete is resistant to chemical attack, exposure to heat, water and radiation. It is used in the construction of multi-level structures, bridges, nuclear power plants, factories, etc. In multi-storey buildings, the use of high-strength concrete allows reduction in the cross-section of columns, while keeping the reinforcement cross-section unchanged. Switching from concrete class B25 to B45 decreases consumption of the reinforcing steel by an average of 240 kg/m3.

High strength performance of this concrete type is only guaranteed subject to certain conditions, including the use of high cement grades, aggregates of increased strength and cleanliness, plasticizers and admixtures needed to obtain a dense concrete structure, as well as thorough and intensive mixing and compaction of the concrete mix for the creation of favourable curing conditions.

All concrete mixes by HOUSE BETON LLC are always produced in line with the relevant requirements, mixing technology and mixing ratio. Usually, the concrete class for your construction project is specified in the by design documentation. And our highly qualified laboratory technicians will select the raw materials and develop a tailor-made mix recipe for applications of any complexity level. However, if you still have any questions, our managers are ready to provide personal professional advice on choosing the concrete mix to suit your exact needs and your budget. We guarantee high quality of our high-strength concrete plus delivery to your construction site.
