Optimization of High-Performance Concrete for Sustainable Construction

  • Unique Paper ID: 182939
  • PageNo: 3781-3790
  • Abstract:
  • The construction industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, with cement production accounting for 7-8%. High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is a promising material for sustainable construction due to its superior mechanical properties, durability, and adaptability. However, its adoption faces challenges such as high costs, environmental impacts, and lack of standardized methodologies. This research paper aims to optimize HPC as a sustainable construction material by addressing production challenges and advancing its potential. HPC offers enhanced compressive strength, tensile strength, and resistance to environmental degradation. Its optimization involves incorporating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to reduce carbon emissions and improve durability. The use of recycled aggregates and industrial by-products aligns with circular economy principles, reducing natural resource dependency and waste. Advancements in HPC optimization include nano-engineering and advanced admixtures. Challenges in HPC adoption include high costs and complexity. Future directions for HPC optimization include machine learning, real-time monitoring systems, and collaboration among academia, industry, and policymakers.
