    parameter comparing them with those of conventional concrete.
    2. Summarize the techniques adopted for achieving HSC.
    3. Evaluate long term properties of high strength concrete?
    4. Explain the composition and microstructure of HSC. State its advantages.
    5. Explain the design procedure of HSC mix design by Erntroy and Shacklock’s method
    6. Design a high strength concrete for use in the production of precast prestressed concrete
    to suit the following requirements:

    Specified 28-day works cube strength = 50 MPa


    Very good degree of control; control factor = 0.80
    Degree of workability = very low
    Type of cement = ordinary Portland cement
    Type of coarse aggregate = crushed granite (angular) of maximum size 10mm.

    durability separately as per Strategic Highway Research Programme (SHRP)
    8. Illustrate the salient features of HPC requirements and enlist the parameter to be
    controlled for achieving the same required performance
    9. Discuss in brief the properties of HPC in fresh and hardened concrete with neat sketch.
