Differences Between NSC <strong>and</strong>HSC• In normal strength concrete, the microcracks formwhen the compressive stress reaches ~ 40% of thestrength. The cracks interconnect when the stressreaches 80-90% of the strength• For HSC, Iravani <strong>and</strong> MacGregor reportedlinearity of the stress-strain diagram at 65 to 70,75 to 80 <strong>and</strong> above 85% of the peak load forconcrete with compressive strengths of 65, 95, <strong>and</strong>105 MPa.
