In recent years, high performance concrete (HPC) has become more popular and important material using in structural concrete field, due to the advantages of workability, safety, durability, economy, and ecology. However, so far the HPC has not been widely utilized yet in Taiwan. In order to promote using this advanced material for building structures, and to save national resources, the paper focus the high strength characteristics of HPC on the mixture proportion design, mechanical properties, and structural design respectively. The mechanical properties of HPC are superior to the conventional concrete, as confirmed by the experimental results reported in previous literature. The aim of this paper is to compare the cost of construction between the two various kinds of concrete above, and to discuss the feasibility on the application of high strength concrete for building structure systems. Satisfactory effects of economy were found in these regards.
