The history of the use of concrete fence posts is briefly reviewed. The results of a literature review, and survey of users and fence/farm suppliers appeared to be in conflict. Fence posts of steel, wood, or plastic meet the existing needs at a lower cost than concrete fence posts. For these reasons, few concrete posts are used in the United States. In some other parts of the world however, where such options do not exist, concrete posts are more common. It is noted that the beauty and uniqueness of concrete posts, and their novelty have attracted attention.","PeriodicalId":91674,"journal":{"name":"Concrete international : design & construction","volume":"15 1","pages":"55-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67201998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discussion involves examination of three levels of high-strength concrete: (1) the present range of 5,000 to 10,000 psi (34.4 to 68.9 MPa), (2) the available range of 10,000 to 15,000 psi (68.9 to 103.4 MPa), and (3) the exotic area of 15,000 psi (103.4 MPa). Present practices include use of low W/C, high cement factor, mixtures with fly ash, high-quality crushed aggregates, high-range water-reducing admixtures, and more coordination and quality control efforts. the second range is attainable with available materials and equipment such as slurry mixing, no-slump concrete, closer control, compaction by pressure, new admixtures, longer curing, and polymer material. research in the areas of vibration and compaction, use of artificial aggregates, polymers, discontinuous reinforcement, interaction with the energy situation, and design considerations will be needed before the 15,000-psi (103.4-MPa) range can be successfully entered. the exotic area may include heretofore impractical techniques such as combining pressure and vibration and development of the silica-lime bond. A prediction is offered of the technique to be used for the manufacture, placement, and consolidation of high-strength concrete in the year 2000.
