Perspectives of Designing with New Concrete Types

Concrete is the most widely used material in civil engineering. During the last decade our conceptual thinking about concrete has changed. It is more and more understood that one can influence the properties of concrete quite considerably by minor changes on the concrete composition. By altering its composition and following some of the basic principles innovative types of concretes were developed. This paper intends to testify and illustrate the possibilities for designing structures by designing new concrete types. The results of testing properties of new concrete types are presented. In selecting the components to be used for preparing a concrete mixtures attention was given to cost-effectiveness. Thus, all the concrete components that were used are available on the Croatian market.
