Foreword
This document presents an updated annotated bibliography on high performance concrete for the period 1989-1994. An original annotated bibliography and state-of-the art report on high performance concrete were completed and published as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program.
Today the design and use of high performance concrete represents a dynamic situation. In an effort to further advance the technology and improve the quality of high performance concrete projects planned or underway, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has launched a High Performance Concrete Bridge Showcase initiative. Further information on this effort can be obtained from FHWA headquarters and field offices.
We trust that the enclosed compilation of resource materials is of significant technical merit and will help further the technology and practice of high performance concrete.
