High-strength concrete (HSC) has become a cornerstone in modern construction due to its superior mechanical properties and durability compared to conventional concrete. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the development, properties, and applications of high-strength concrete. The study explores the materials and mix design principles essential for producing HSC, the mechanical and durability properties that distinguish it from normal-strength concrete, and the latest advancements in HSC technology. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and future directions in the development and application of high-strength concrete.
