        abstract = {Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is an ultra-high-performance cementitious composite developed to achieve exceptional strength, durability, and ductility through the elimination of coarse aggregates and optimization of particle packing density. This study presents an experimental investigation on the mechanical and durability performance of RPC prepared using carefully selected fine materials and advanced chemical admixtures. The experimental program focuses on optimizing mix proportions by varying key parameters such as water-to-binder ratio, cement and supplementary cementitious material content, fine aggregate grading, and fiber reinforcement. Laboratory tests including compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, workability, and water absorption were conducted to evaluate the performance of RPC mixtures. The results demonstrate that RPC exhibits significantly higher strength and superior durability characteristics compared to conventional and high-performance concretes. The study also highlights the potential of incorporating industrial by-products to develop cost-effective and sustainable RPC mixes. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of RPC behavior and support its application in high-strength, durable, and advanced structural systems.},
