Flexural and compressive behaviour of composite concrete reinforced with 1.0% of polyester / Azizan Zainal

Nowadays, it has been found that high strength concrete (HSC) is applicable for high-rise construction or multy-storey building. In Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Twin Tower or KLCC was used HSC at grade 80 MPa for columns and ring beams on the lower floor of towers. Silica fume also was employed as cement...
