This book collects research outcomes related to high-performance concrete as a civil engineering material, providing readers with targeted research experiences and case analyses. From the introduction of Portland cement in the 1920s to the emergence of the water-cement ratio theory in the early 20th century, concrete has become a robust foundation for the rapid development of modern architecture. Due to its advantages and performance superior to traditional natural materials, it has become the primary building material for modern structures. As building heights and design requirements have increased, ordinary concrete can no longer meet modern architectural needs, making high-performance concrete a necessity for engineering projects. Currently, high-performance concrete is primarily produced by altering the water-cement ratio and adding admixtures. With the gradual scarcity of natural aggregates, high-performance concrete can meet safe design standards while reducing resource consumption. Compared to ultra-high-performance concrete, high-performance concrete is currently more suitable for engineering applications and has a more mature and comprehensive production process and applicability.This book includes selected papers from 2024 International Conference on Civil Engineering Structures and Concrete Materials, focusing on the mechanism studies and applications of high-performance concrete. We hope to share the latest research on high-performance concrete with civil engineering materials engineers worldwide, especially studies on fiber-reinforced concrete and high-performance concrete for complex application environments.

He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK; Fellow of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), UK; a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); a Member of American Concrete Institute (ACI); and a Senior Member of RILEM. Over the years, Dr. Raman has built his reputation as a researcher in concrete structures and materials, decarbonisation in construction, and infrastructure protective technologies. He currently sits on the Editorial Boards of three international journals. Dr. Raman has also been involved with numerous consultancy projects in structural engineering and infrastructure resilience, within the public and private sectors, both locally and internationally.
Xiaomeng Hou is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology. He is mainly engaged in the research of fire resistance performance and fire resistance design of concrete structures, dynamic performance and design method of reactive powder concrete structures, and identification and reinforcement of existing buildings. He presides over the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) projects, sub-projects of the Key Research and Development Program (KRDP), and the Heilongjiang Provincial Outstanding Youth Science Foundation. He has published more than 60 academic papers in Cement and Concrete Composites, Engineering Structures and other journals.

(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
