Abstract

Since the 1990s, the expression high-performance concrete and the acronym HPC have become very popular and very fashionable in civil engineering. At a first glance, it sounds like advertising a new product but, in most respects, HPC is not fundamentally different from the concrete that we have been using all along, as it does not contain any new ingredient and does not involve new practices on site.
