INTRODUCTION
High performance concrete is a concrete having low water binder ratio. A value of 0.4 is suggested as boundary between usual concrete and high performance concrete.
It has high strength and durability. For high durability low permeability is required and to reduce permeability silica fume is used

CONCLUSION
Mineral admixture such as fumed silica is an ideal constituent' for high performance concrete as it has the inherent ability to contribute to continued strength development through their pozzolanic / cementations reactivity and to enhance durability and chemical resistance through their pore refinement and reduced sorptivity characteristics.
