If producing high-strength concrete is a new endeavor, it may be best to look into a statistically-based program to determine the best mixture proportions. Such a program can reduce the number of trial mixtures required and may save time and expense. See the paper below for additional information.

Any laboratory work on high-strength mixtures must be verified by appropriate full-scale field testing well before the project begins.
