Abstract
High-performance concrete (HPC) applies to cement-based material with a strong capacity above 50MPa, has great ductility, and shows excellent performance. This paper reviews the properties of HPC, raw material, and cracking propagation. Reduction in porosity and improvement in microstructure increases the toughness of HPC. Natural materials such as supplementary cementitious material, aggregates, super-plasticizers, and micro steel fibers can enhance HPC`s mechanical properties and workability. Also, the causes of cracking and relevant test for observing crack propagation are discussed in this paper. Thus, HPC manufacturing tends to improve over the years by using relevant raw materials, common technology such as conventional casting and room temperature curing, and related precautions to reduce cracking in concrete to prolong the service life of concrete structures.
