Experimental Study, Characterisation, and Microstructural Analysis of Ultra-Strength Concrete (M80 to M120 Grade): Design, Durability, and Cost-Benefit Dynamics
Ultra-Strength Concrete (USC), spanning the M80 to M120 grade range, represents a major advancement in structural materials engineering, offering exceptional load-carrying capacity, dimensional efficiency, and durability compared with conventional concrete (Aïtcin, 1998; Mehta & Monteiro, 2014). This paper presents an...
