Abstract

Due to its improved mechanical qualities and ability to reduce the size of structural parts, high-strength concrete (H.S.C.) has attracted much interest in structural engineering. This study article examines how high-strength concrete may be used in structural applications developed in Asia. The study's main objectives are to improve the mix design, add the appropriate admixtures, and evaluate the mechanical characteristics and durability of the resultant high-strength concrete. The development of High Strength Concrete (H.S.C.) material components for structural applications in Asia has been the subject of substantial research by several scholars. The findings of this study show that high-strength concrete breakthroughs and ground-breaking architectural icons have been built in Asia. For high-strength concrete to be used successfully and securely over the long term, proper mix design, quality control, and building techniques are essential.
