    This document summarizes a presentation on the short-term mechanical properties of high strength concrete. It outlines the stress-strain behavior and strength properties of high strength concrete under compression and tension loading. It discusses factors that influence the compressive strength and elastic modulus of high strength concrete such as water-cement ratio, curing, time, and coarse aggregates. Empirical equations from ACI 363 and 318 for estimating the elastic modulus and modulus of rupture are also presented. The conclusions state that the mechanical behavior of high strength concrete differs from normal strength concrete under compression but is similar under tension, and coarse aggregates and curing are major influencing factors.
