It is a type of high performance concrete generally with a specified compressive strength of 40 Mpa or greater.

The compressive strength is measured at 56 days or 90 days or some other specified age depending upon the application.

To put the concrete at service at much earlier age.

To build high rise buildings by reducing column sizes and increasing available space.

To build the superstructure of long-span bridges and to enhance the durability of bridge decks.
