The main theme of this special collection was the preparation and properties of high-strength/high-performance concrete, and covered a wide range of topics and scopes, such as preparation of high strength/high performance concrete, durability, raw materials, workbility, chemical admixture, new applications of concrete, property characterization, and the behavior of concrete structures.A total of 64 peer-reviewed papers was accpted for publication and these were grouped into : I. Preparation of Ultra High Performance Concrete; II. Workability of Concrete; ?. Chemical Admixtures; IV. Mineral Admixtures and Raw Aggregate; V. Durability of Concrete; VI. Mechanical Properties and Others.The book therefore constitutes a veritable mini-handbook on the properties and behavior of concrete.
