Effect of High Performance Concrete (HPC) on Analytical and Design Parameters of Concrete Buildings

Nowdays , the application of High Performance Concrete (HPC) in concrete structures is increasing rapidly . In this paper the main purpose is to compare the analytical and design results of convential building with HPC buildings . For this reason a six story concrete building was chosen in which the HPC had been used . It was modeled in ETABS software and after loading , according to related codes , this buildings designed and analyzed . Afterwards all the similar modeling and loading process carried out for HPC building , done for a convential concrete building . The results obtained from analysis and design of the two mentioned buildings were compared and advantages and impacts of HPC in analytical and design results of concrete buildings and considerable effect of HPC , particulrly in concrete building design , investigated
