    INTRODUCTION

     Concrete is the most widely used construction material in India


    with annual consumption exceeding 100 million cubic meters.

     High performance concrete is a concrete in which certain


    characteristics are developed for a particular application and
    environment, so that it will give excellent performance in the
    structure in which it will be placed.

     A high-strength concrete is always a high performance concrete,


    but a high-performance concrete is not always a high-strength
    concrete.
    What is High Performance Concrete ?
     According to Paul Zia
    HPC is a concrete, which meets special performance, and
    uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using
    only the conventional materials and normal mixing, placing, and
    curing practices.
    According to Civil Engineering Research Foundation (CERP)

    HPC is a concrete in which some or all of the following properties


    have been enhanced.
    (a) Ease of placement
    (b) Long term mechanical properties
    (c) Early age strength
    (d) Toughness
    Components/Ingredients
    The main ingredients of HPC are as follows
    1) Cement
    2) Fine aggregate
    3) Coarse aggregate
    4) Water
    5) Mineral admixtures (fine filler and/or pozzolonic supplementary
    cementitious materials)
    6) Chemical admixtures (plasticizers, superplasticizers, retarders, air-
    entraining agents)
    Methods for achieving High Performance

     Better durability performance has been achieved by using high-


    strength, low w/c ratio concrete.

    Two approaches to achieve durability through different techniques


    are as follows

    (1)Reducing the capillary pore system such that no fluid


    movement can occur is the first approach. This is very difficult
    to realize and all concrete will have some interconnected pores.
    2. Creating chemically active binding sites which prevent
    transport of aggressive ions such as chlorides is the second
    more effective method. There are two approaches are shown
    in Fig.1
    Characteristics of High performance concrete.

    Concrete may be regarded as high performance for several different


    reasons:
     Very low porosity through a tight and refined pore structure of the
    cement paste.
     Very low permeability of the concrete
     High resistance to chemical attack.
     Low heat of hydration
     High early strength and continued strength development
     Low water binder ratio
     Low bleeding and plastic shrinkage
    Stress-strain Behavior
     The shape of the ascending part of the stress-strain curve is more
    linear and steeper for high-strength concrete, and the strain at the
    maximum stress is slightly higher for HPC.
     The slope of the descending part becomes steeper for high
    performance concrete.
     High performance concrete exhibits less internal micro cracking than
    lower-strength concrete for a given imposed axial strain.
    Advantages
     Speed Of Construction

     Economical Material In terms Of Time And Money

     Higher Seismic Resistance

     Improved Durability

     Abrasion Resistance

     High Tensile Strength

     Reduced

     Maintenance Cost
    Disadvantages

     An Extended Quality Control

     Cost

     Special Constituents

     Manufactured And Placed carefully


    Application

     In Pavements

     High Performance concrete is being increasingly


    used for highway pavements due to the potential
    economic benefits

     Fast track concrete paving (FTCP) technology can


    be used for complete pavement reconstruction.
    Application

     In Bridges

     HPC is being extensively used now for the fabrication of precast


    pylons, piers, and girders of many long span bridges in the world
    For Example The Normandie Bridge in France (1993),

     Concrete structures are preferable for railway bridges to


    eliminate noise and vibration problems and minimize the
    maintenance cost.

     Fast track concrete paving (FTCP) technology can be used for


    complete pavement reconstruction.
    Application
     In High-rise Buildings.

     The reasons for using the high strength concrete in the area of
    high-rise buildings are to reduce the dead load, the deflection,
    the vibration and the noise, and the maintenance cost.

     Miscellaneous Applications.

     Fiber reinforced concrete has been used with and without


    conventional reinforcement in many field applications. These
    include bridge deck overlays, floor slabs, pavements and pavement
    overlays, refractories, hydraulic structures, thin shells, rock slope
    stabilization, mine tunnel linings and many precast products.
    Case Study

    Conclusion

    We are going to expect concrete that is a little more expensive per


    cubic meter to buy but

    It will require less skill and effort to place.

    It will look better with no appearance defects.

    It will be more durable.

    It will require more skill at the batching plant.
