Abstract
Among the modern construction materials, concrete occupies a unique place. Concrete is a hard, chemically inert particulate material, known as an aggregate (generally made of sand and gravel), that is blended with cement and water. Concrete with significantly higher general performance than normal concrete. This type of concrete is known as High Performance Concrete (HPC). Three of the key attributes of HPC. They are strength, ductility, and durability. HPCs are primarily used to build bridges, dams, flyovers, etc. The material is also used in residential buildings such as skyscrapers and high-rise buildings. To produce high-performance concrete (HPC), various materials must be used to fill voids in the concrete. Specially formulated high range water reducers are used to reduce the voids and give high strength. Concrete mix design is the process of choosing the ingredients and determining their relative amounts. In this way, concrete with the desired strength, durability, and workability can be produced as economical as possible. Key Words: Concrete, Aggregate, Water, HPC
