C, G1, and G2) <strong>for</strong> Laboratory, Session 1 and Session 2 Mixes Based on Compressive <strong>Strength</strong><br />

3.3.4 Field Investigation Conclusion<br />

The field investigation showed that HPCL with both 8,000 psi and 10,000 psi design<br />

strengths could be produced at precast concrete plants. The field mixes exceeded the strengths of<br />

laboratory mixes.<br />

It was further concluded that a design strength mix of 12,000 psi could not be produced.<br />

A maximum strength of about 11,600 psi was found.<br />
