        abstract = {High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is engineered to achieve superior strength, durability, and sustainability compared to conventional concrete. This study investigates the combined effect of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and silica fume as partial replacements of cement in M80 grade HPC. Trial mixes were prepared with varying proportions of GGBS (20–30%) and silica fume (5–10%). Mechanical properties (compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength) and durability indicators (chloride permeability, water absorption) were evaluated. Results indicate that the synergistic use of GGBS and silica fume enhances microstructural refinement, reduces permeability, and achieves compressive strengths exceeding 80 MPa at 28 days. The findings highlight the potential of SCMs in producing sustainable HPC with reduced cement consumption and improved long-term performance.},
