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 />
