1
INTRODUCTION
•CONCRETE-MOST WIDELY USED
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
•ANNUAL CONSUMPTION-100 MILLION m3
• HOWEVER EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT
CONCRETE IS VULNERABLE TO DETERIORATION

2
SELECTION OF MATERIALS

SELECTION OF SUITABLE INGREDIENTS

DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

CAREFUL QUALITY CONTROL

3
CEMENT
LITTLE AMOUNT OF C3A

FINELY GROUND

FAIR AMOUNT OF C3S

FINE AGGREGATES

RIVER SAND AND CRUSHED STONES

COARSER SAND
4
MINIMUM VOID RATIO
COARSE AGGREGATE

STRONGEST COMPONENT

SIZE NOT EXCEEDING 20MM

CUBIC IN SHAPE

NOT FLAKY OR ELONGATED

5
CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES
IMPROVE WORKABILITY

DECREASE IN WATER REQUIREMENT

TYPES OF CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES:

 PLASTICIZERS
 SUPER PLASTICIZERS
 RETARDERS
 AIR ENTRAINING AGENTS

6
MINERAL ADMIXTURES
CEMENT MATRIX-DENSER AND
STRONGER
TYPES OF MINERAL ADMIXTURES
 FLY ASH
 SILICA FUME
 CARBON BLACK POWDER
 ANHYDROUS GYPSUM BASED
MINERAL ADMIXTURES
7
DURABILITY CHARACTERISTICS

LOW PERMEABILITY

STEEL PROTECTED

ABRASION RESISTANCE

8
WHEN TO USE HPC

SEVERE EXPOSURE CONDITIONS

INCREASE DURABILITY

PREVENT DETERIORATION OF
CONCRETE

9
APPLICATIONS

BRIDGES

HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

TUNNELS

PAVEMENTS

NUCLEAR STRUCTURES

10
CASE STUDY:
JOIGNY BRIDGE

BUILT ACROSS RIVER YONNE

THREE SPAN BRIDGE

HEIGHT OF 220m

WIDTH OF 15.8m

11
REDUCTION IN CONCRETE
VOLUME

28 DAYS STRENGTH OF 70MPa

PUMPING

SUFFICIENT SETTING TIME

12
CONCRETE STRENGTH-91.7MPa
AND 65.5MPa
TENSILE STRENGTH-5.1MPa
FIRST BRIDGE WITH 60MPa
COMPLETED IN 1989

13
JOIGNY BRIDGE

14
PETRONAS TOWERS

15
NUCLEAR REACTOR, FRANCE

16
LA GRANDE ARCHE, PARIS
17
THE RE ISLAND BRIDGE,FRANCE

18
THE GREAT HASSAN II MOSQUE,MOROCCO

19
HIGHWAY BRIDGE, HONGKONG

20
WATER TOWER
PLACE,CHICAGO

21
ADVANTAGES
Durability againest chloide attack
Speed of construction
Workability and pumpability
Economical material in terms of time
and money
Incresed durability in marine
environment
22
Higher seismic resistance

Improved durability

Abrasion resistance

High tensile strength

Reduced maintenance cost

23
LIMITATION
 An extended quality control is
required
 in concrete plant and delivery site,
additional tests are required. This
increases the cost
 HPC has to be manufactured and
placed much more carefully than
normal concrete
