Optimized Cost of High Performance Concrete in the Build

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of this work is an analysis of the use of high performance concrete and it impact on the morphology and structure costs. The use of high performance concrete (HPC) in the construction of buildings and civil engineering works offers advantages in terms of durability, ease of implementation, reduction of deformation and shrinkage, increase the resistance of reinforced concrete structures. The economic benefits of the use of high performance concrete, compared to conventional concrete are illustrated by the reduction of the following costs: the implementation of concrete, the geometric sections of bearing elements of the built space and the maintenance of structures. The cost of high performance concrete, for the resistance inferior to 80 Mpa, gives a significative advantage comparatively to the steel and the ordinary concrete. The generalized use of this type of concrete in many countries has been stimulated by a national plan.
