Abstract
Advances and new discoveries are on daily increase in the field of Engineering and Technology. These new discoveries are usually as a result of challenges facing the profession of Engineering and technology. The discoveries in the area of research, design and construction are the outcome of the complex and sophisticated erection of civil Engineering structural facilities we see in many parts of the world today. Among the latest art of Engineering and Technological advancement and discoveries is this “high performance concrete” this paper examines that a new term as high performance is used for concrete mixtures which possesses high workability, high strength, high modulus of elasticity, high density, high dimensional stability, low permeability, resistance to chemical attacks, and high degree of applications in modern Civil Engineering construction.
