HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

High performance concrete offers compression resistance levels ranging from 500 to 900 kg/cm2. This allows for a higher slenderness in the columns and bigger open spaces in beams and columns.
Very slender columns and unites in buildings.
Bridges and special structures of concrete.
Abrasion resistance floors.
General transportation infrastructure.
Its high fluidity and consistency make it possible for it to be pumped at great distances and heights.
Easy to place in areas congested by steel reinforcements.
Hi resistance concrete maintains shrinkage for long periods of time.
It is a highly durable concrete of very low permeability.
High level of cohesion of the mixture while in the plastic state.
The maximum aggregate size can range from 10 to 20 mm
The reached shrinkage can be higher than 20 cm.
Meets the requirements established in Norms NMX-C-155 and NMX-C-403 of the Complementary Technical Norms of the G.D.F.
