The need for high strength concrete is increasing so that projects can maximize the usable space in a building. Buildings are becoming taller and even bridge spans are becoming longer. Cemstone has designed, produced, and delivered high-strength concrete mixtures that exceed a compressive strength of 12,000 psi or gain strength quickly to keep projects on schedule.
Our engineers, scientists and technicians have spent countless hours studying how our highly technical mixtures perform in the plastic and hardened states. Our team considers the following properties when designing high strength concrete:
- Compressive strength vs. age
- Shrinkage
- Permeability
- Freeze-thaw durability characteristics
- Creep
- Modulus of elasticity
- Placing ability (ability to be pumped)
- Mass concrete effects
