Can high-performance concrete be made with white cement?
It is possible to formulate high-performance white and colored concrete to achieve various improved properties such as high strength or very low permeability. By incorporating materials like calcined clay (such as metakaolin), slag, or white silica fume into the mix design along with white cement, concrete properties can be modified while still maintaining the white base color. Applications for HPC include any structures that benefit from increased performance attributes, such as high-rise buildings made with high-strength concrete, and bridges and parking structures made with very low permeability concrete to protect against freeze-thaw and deicer attack. Can self-consolidating concrete be made with white cement? Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) provides good form filling characteristics and a good quality finish. That makes it well suited to any type of concrete that will be exposed to view, where appearance is important. For instance, many precast concrete members are used architec
