    High Performance Concrete

    High performance concrete is a type of concrete mixture that has high durability and strength compared to conventional concrete. It contains cementitious materials like fly ash or slag and superplasticizers. Some benefits include early high strength, toughness, low permeability, and resistance to chemical attack. It is used in bridges, high-rise buildings, tunnels, pavements, and nuclear structures. While it provides advantages like longer service life and reduced maintenance, it also has higher costs and quality control requirements during production and placement.

    Introduction

     High performance concrete is a concrete mixture,


    which possess high durability and high strength when
    compared to conventional concrete.
     This concrete contains one or more of cementious
    materials such as fly ash, Silica fume or ground
    granulated blast furnace slag and usually a super
    plasticizer.
    What is High Performance Concrete?

     High Performance Concrete (HPC) is a specialized series of


    concretes designed to provide several benefits in the construction of
    concrete structures.

     Performance Benefits
     Cost & Other Benefits
    Performance Benefits

     Ease of placement and consolidation without


    affecting strength
     Long-term mechanical properties
     Early high strength
     Toughness
     Volume stability
     Longer life in severe environments
    Cost & Other Benefits

     Less Material
     Reduced Maintenance
     Extended Life Cycle
    Application

     Bridges
     High Rise Buildings
     Tunnels
     Pavements
     Nuclear Structures
    Objectives

     To put the concrete in to service at much earlier age,


    for example opening the pavement at 3-days.
     To build high-rise buildings by reducing column sizes
    and increasing available space.
     To build the superstructures of long-span bridges and
    to enhance the durability of bridge decks.
     To satisfy the specific needs of special applications
    such as durability, modulus of elasticity, and flexural
    strength. Some of these applications include dams,
    grandstand roofs, marine foundations, parking
    garages, and heavy industrial floors.
    General Characteristics

     High strength
     High early strength
     High modulus of elasticity
     High abrasion resistance
     Low permeability and diffusion
     Resistance to chemical attack
     Volume stability
     Ease of placement
    Advantages

     Longer spans and fewer beams for the same


    magnitude of loading.
     Reduced axial shortening of compression supporting
    members.
     Low creep and shrinkage.
     Greater stiffness as a result of a higher modulus Ec.
     Reduced maintenance and repairs.
    Limitations

     High Performance Concrete has to be manufactured


    and placed much more carefully than normal
    concrete.
     An extended quality control is required
     In concrete plant and at delivery site, additional tests
    are required. This increases the cost
     Some special constituents are required which may
    not be available in the ready mix concrete plants.
    Conclusion

    The water, cementitious materials, aggregates


    and chemical admixtures all need to be
    proportioned effectively to deliver the mix with
    the most desirable properties for placement,
    finishing, curing, and hardened condition.
