This document summarizes properties of structures that used super-high-strength concrete, including notable buildings and bridges. It provides details on the location, year completed, dimensions, concrete strength, water-to-binder ratio, and cement/additive contents. Examples include the Petronas Towers in Malaysia with concrete strength of 85 MPa, the Laurentienne Building in Canada with strength of 120 MPa, and the Millau Viaduct in France with concrete reaching 199 MPa. The document concludes by noting that Samsung C&T is working to commercialize 200 MPa concrete to enable even taller structures.

- 11. On August 28th, 2013, the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning awarded Samsung C&T the Minister Prize for outstanding achievement. With the introduction in 2002 of concrete with a design strength of 80 MPa, Samsung C&T has continued to innovate and push the boundaries of concrete strength. Now, with Samsung C&T preparing commercialize 200MPa super high strength concrete for construction projects, the world is a step closer to realizing a 1mile-tall ultra high- rise. 10
