The book explores the increasing use of high-strength concrete (HSC) and its implications for building design, emphasizing the benefits of reduced dead weight and enhanced usable space. It addresses the brittleness of HSC, highlighting the need for a balance between strength and ductility, which can be achieved by incorporating steel fibers. Additionally, it discusses the optimal use of industrial waste materials, such as fly ash and silica fume, to improve concrete properties, demonstrating significant gains in compressive and tensile strengths with specific fiber ratios.
