High-Value Concrete
 High performance concrete is a
concrete mixture,which possess high
durability and high strength when
compared to
conventional concrete.

High-Performance Concrete
  High early strength.
 High modulus of elasticity.
 High abrasion resistance.
 High durability and long
life in severe
environments.
 Low permeability and
diffusion.
High-Performance Concrete
 High Performance concrete works out
to be economical.
 High Performance concrete in
construction enhances the service life of
the structure.
 Faster gain of strength.

High-Performance Concrete
 Material Primary Contribution/Desired Property
Portland cement Cementing material / Durability
Fly ash / Silica fume Cementing material /
Calcined clay/ Metakaolin Durability /
High strength
Superplasticizers Flowability

High-range water reducers Reduce water-cement ratio

High-Performance Concrete
 Material Primary contribution/Desired property
Retarders Control setting
Accelerators Accelerate setting
Corrosion inhibitors Control steel corrosion
Water reducers Reduce cement and water content
Shrinkage reducers Reduce shrinkage

High-Performance Concrete
 High-early compressive strength-20 to 28
Mpa
at 3 to 12 hours or 1 to 3 days.

 High-early flexural strength-2 to 4 Mpa at 3

to 12 hours or 1 to 3 days.

 High modulus of elasticity- More than 40

Gpa.

 Water cementing ratio- 0.20 to 0.45 by

mass.

High-Performance Concrete

 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.

High-Performance Concrete
  High-Performance concrete resists
loads that cannot be resisted by
normal-strength concrete. Not only
does high Performance concrete
allow for more applications, it also
increases the strength per unit cost,
per unit weight, and per unit volume
as well. These concrete mixes
typically have an increased modulus
of elasticity, which increases stability
and reduces deflection.
