In corrosive soils areasand extremely cold regions,high performance is required inthe impermeability and frost resistanceof concrete poles. In this paper, the mix design of C60 high performance concrete and the relationship between mix parameters and performance is studied and analyzed ,and the influence of the water-cement ratio, the amount of cementation materials, the mineral admixtures and other factors on High Performance Concrete is discussed, as well as the impact of different admixtures for concrete. According to the analysis results, the concrete mix is designed and used in practice.

Concrete is the main material used in most of structures in the world. The use of high strength and high performance concrete to overcome deterioration due to static and dynamic load and some environmental burden in different situation such as chloride attack, sulphate attack and etc, is increasing worldwide. Achieving to a concrete with a high quality and saving in amount of material used for producing the concrete need a proper mix design method taken into account. DOE method is considered as an effective and substantial method in implementing the concrete mix design. In this paper, specifications and all mix design calculation steps using DOE method in achieving a high strength and high performance concrete for a tall building in a coastal environment based on three concrete cubes specimens produced in the lab, are investigated. The 7 and 14 day compressive strength test were implemented on the concrete cubes. At the end, it concluded that the specified compressive strength (45 N/mm2) can be achieved on the 28th day based on DOE method.

Concrete mix design is the science to obtain concrete proportions of cement, water, and aggregate, based on the particular concrete design method and their mix design parameters. However, the suitability of concrete proportion for high-performance concrete depends on resulting mix factors, namely, water, cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate ratios. This paper implements the multicriteria decision-making techniques (MCDM) for ranking concrete mix factors and representative mix design methods. The study presents a framework to identify critical mix factors found from the concrete mix design methods for high-performance concrete using the two-phase AHP and TOPSIS approach. Three methods of concrete mix design, namely, American Concrete Institute (ACI) mix design method, Department of Energy (DOE) method, and Fineness Modulus (FM) method, are considered for ranking mix design methods and the resulting mix factors. Three hierarchy levels, having three criteria and seven subcriteria, and three alternatives are considered. The present research is attempted to provide MCDM framework to rank the concrete mix guidelines for any given environment such as concrete under sulphate and chloride attack and for evolving the performance-based concrete mix design techniques. Sensitivity and validation analysis is also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Ground-glass pozzolan (G) obtained by grinding the mixed-waste glass to same fineness of cement can act as a supplementary-cementitious material (SCM), given that it is an amorphous and a pozzolanic material. The G showed promising performances in different concrete types such as conventional concrete (CC), high-performance concrete (HPC), and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The current paper reports on the characteristics and performance of G in these concrete types. The use of G provides several advantages (technological, economical, and environmental). It reduces the production cost of concrete and decrease the carbon footprint of a traditional concrete structures. The rheology of fresh concrete can be improved due to the replacement of cement by non-absorptive glass particles. Strength and rigidity improvements in the concrete containing G are due to the fact that glass particles act as inclusions having a very high strength and elastic modulus that have a strengthening effect on the overall hardened matrix.

Keywords: High Performance Concrete, mix proportions, compressive strength , and durability Abstract. The use of concrete materials to date, remain a key ingredient in such construction work on the construction of building, bridges and infrastructure. One indicator is the increased production of readymix concrete which is nearly 16 billion tons in 2010. But the increased used of concrete, apparently bring the impact of environmental damage. This is due to the fact that production of raw materials contributes greatly to CO2 in the air. One effort to reduce such impact is to use of high performance concretes. Mix proportion of High Performance Concrete are strongly determined by the quality and availablity of local materials. The implications of research result from other countries can‘t be directly used. Therefore is need to the research on development of High Performance Concrete mix using locally available materials. In this research the mix proportions for f’c : 60 and 80 MPa are developed using local materials that are commonly used by readymix producers. The high Performance Concrete is developed based on compressive strength and durability. The result is expected to be applied to readymix industry particularly for construction use in Indonesia.

These days it is almost impossible to imagine the technology of high performance concrete without the use of any kind of additive. Whether it is a material capable of achieving high strength, excellent mobility of the fresh mix without losing cohesion or producing high quality architectural concrete surface, microadditives have their certain place for a long time now. Although the research in this field still has something to offer, it does not hurt to try to consider the future and imagine the path that will be taken in the production of high performance concrete of next generation. The article deals with the possibility of using nanoparticles in concrete technology. These materials can actively participate in the creation of very high-quality cement stone. In addition, due to the extreme reactivity of nanoparticles, these reactions can take place almost immediately after the onset of hydration and during its first hours. The experimental part of the paper assesses the impact of nanoparticles on selected properties of fresh cement paste and hardened cement mortar. In all cases, there was a positive effect and it has been demonstrated that nanoparticles may eventually create a new category of high performance concrete additives.

To study the impact of mineral admixtures and water-binder ratio on carbonization resistance of high performance manufactured sand concrete, high performance concrete of single mixed flyash, admixing silica fume and no admixture were compounded, carbonation depth of 3d, 7d, 14d and 28d was recorded by the way of indoor test. The test results show that with the decrease of water-binder ratio, carbonation resistance of high performance manufactured sand concrete increase, and when the concrete compressive strength is over 55Mpa, carbonation resistance is good, and when water-binder ratio is lower than 0.38, the impact of mineral admixtures on the carbonation resistance can be neglected.
