High Performance Concrete (HPC) is designed for special performance and uniformity using unconventional materials and practices. Its key characteristics include low porosity, high strength, and durability, making it suitable for applications like highway pavements and high-rise buildings. While it offers benefits such as reduced construction time and lower maintenance costs, it requires careful manufacturing and has a higher initial cost.

2. HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE
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.

3. COMPONENTS OF HPC
The main ingredients of HPC are as follows
1) Cement
2) Fine aggregate
3) Coarse aggregate
4) Water
5) Mineral admixtures
6) Chemical admixturesHIGH PREFORMANCE CONCRETE

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF HPC
: It has Very low porosity.
Very low permeability and 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.HIGH PREFORMANCE CONCRETE

5. ADVANTAGES
Speed Of Construction is less
Economical Material are used
Higher Seismic Resistance
Improved Durability and Abrasion Resistance
High Tensile Strength
Less Maintenance Cost

6. DISADVANTAGES
An Extended Quality Control
It should be ManufacturedAnd Placed carefully
High inetial Cost

7. APPLICATION
 It is used for highway pavements due to the
potential economic benefits.
 it can be used to reduce the dead load, the
deflection,and the maintenance cost of high-rise
buildings.
 HPC is being extensively used now for the
fabrication of precast pylons, piers, and girders of
many long span bridges in the world.

8.  Concrete structures are preferable for railway
bridges to eliminate noise and vibration
problems and minimize the maintenance cost.
