Answer

Whereas the grades of concrete commonly used have strengths varying  from 15 to 35 Mpa, but for special purposes special concretes are manufactured. They include the use of silica fume, fibre reinforcement and polymers. Concretes having strengths upto 125 Mpa have been produced to the best of my knowledge. As you can imagine these records are broken every now and then.
