Features: This book is a part of the "Concrete Technology Series." High-performance concrete was proposed in the early 1990s as a new type of high-tech concrete. It not only exhibits excellent workability and high durability but also offers numerous advantages in terms of resource conservation, environmental protection, and improving economic and social benefits, aligning with the trend of humanity seeking harmony with nature and sustainable development. The authors of this book, based on their research on national key scientific and technological research projects during the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" and "Tenth Five-Year Plan" periods—specifically "Comprehensive Research and Application of High-Performance Concrete" and "Research and Application of Eco-High-Performance Concrete"—present a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the raw materials, properties, and mix design of high-performance concrete. The book also provides detailed descriptions of the practical applications of high-performance concrete in multiple large-scale engineering projects. The extensive data and figures in the book are the results of the authors' experiments, offering practical value for the promotion and application of high-performance concrete. This book is suitable for researchers engaged in concrete material studies, as well as technical personnel and managers involved in concrete design, production, and construction. It can also serve as a reference for university teachers and graduate students in relevant fields.
