Abstract: With a large number of applications in the project, concrete, as an important building material, has gone through the evolution process from ordinary concrete to high strength concrete, and it developed to the high performance concrete right now. The excellent performance of HPC (high performance concrete) which differs from the ordinary concrete is that the high permeability, high compressive strength, good volume stability, good construction performance and so on. In order to improve the application of HPC in practical engineering, we need to focus on the goal to improve the durability of concrete and solve the brittleness of concrete. Especially in the improvement of concrete materials and other aspects, we should focus on solving the optimization problem of the design of mix proportion.
