Group moderated by Benjamin Graybeal. In response to the need to extend service life and to construct cost-effective structures, FHWA has been promoting HPC. For a clear understanding of HPC, FHWA has prepared a definition of HPC based on long-term performance criteria. The HPC definition is expected to stimulate the use of higher quality concrete in highway structures. The proposed definition consists of durability and strength parameters. Associated with each definition parameter are performance criteria, testing procedures to measure performance and recommendations to relate performance to adverse field conditions. HPC is defined by the American Concrete Institute as concrete that meets special combinations of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot always be achieved routinely using conventional constituents and normal mixing, placing, and curing practices (ACI 116R).
