High-strength concrete and high-performance concrete are not synonymous because strength and performance of concrete are different properties of concrete. High-strength concrete is defined based on its compressive strength at a given age whereas high-performance concrete is defined based on performance ...

Applications of High-Performance Concrete in Civil Engineering
There are several applications of high-performance concrete in the field of civil engineering due to its superior properties such as high strength and good durability. The high-performance concrete has been used in the construction of bridges, hydropower structures, pavements, bridges, ...
High-Performance Concrete: Composition, and Features
High-performance concrete (HPC) is produced by careful selection and proportioning of its constituents namely cement, sand, gravel, cementitious materials such as fly ash; silica fume; and slag, and chemical admixtures for instance high range water reducing admixtures. The strength and ...
20 Advantages of High Performance Concrete in Design and Construction
There are several advantages of high performance concrete (HPC) application in building construction which are not achievable using conventional concrete. The strength, durability, resistance to chemical attack, and workability of high performance concrete are high. So, high performance concrete is ...
Requirements of High Performance Concrete
High performance concrete (HPC) is produced in order to meet several requirements which are crucial for the successful construction of buildings in special circumstances. The performance requirements of HPC may involve improvement of concrete placement and compaction without segregation, long-term ...
MIX FOR HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
Mix for High Strength Concrete In order to obtain high strength of concrete, three methods are available in general. The first is to increase the strength of the binder, the second is to select aggregate with high strength, and the ...
HIGH STRENGTH PRESTRESSED CONCRETE CUBE TEST RESULTS
High strength prestressed concrete cube tests guidelines are guidelines prescribed in the Indian standard code IS: 1343-1980 with respect to quality of materials used in prestressed concrete. The minimum 28 day compressive strength of concrete cubes of 15 cm size, ...
Curing of High Performance Concrete -Methods and Duration of Curing
Curing of High Strength Concrete High Performance Concrete has very low water-cement ratio and better particle distribution due to the use of mineral admixtures, which result in significantly less pore per unit volume of cementitious materials in the mixture than ...
