This document compares the cost effectiveness of using high performance concrete versus normal concrete for building construction. It discusses how high performance concrete can provide structural benefits like reduced member sizes, self-weight, and foundation costs. The document outlines a study that analyzed a multi-story building modelled in ETABS to compare concrete usage, steel reinforcement needs, and costs when using concrete grades from M20 to M40. It was found that using high performance concrete for columns and other load-bearing elements proved to be the most cost-effective option by reducing both the total volume of concrete and total construction costs.
