Abstract

Based on experimental work we performed a practice labor to find a combination of high-quality practice to produce high-performance concrete (HPC) with local aggregates, an introduction to research was conducted on locally available aggregates, combined with a dune sand in the town of Beni-Abbas of the
Wilaya BECHAR (south-western Algeria). A comparative study between ordinary concrete and its equivalent high-performance concrete (H.P.C) has also been established. We conducted several experiments in LMPC laboratory of Mostaganem university, where we used local materials (cement, gravel, sand, Sahara sand, added chemicals) to lead well the work, we prepared different mixture of specimen where is formulated by local materials, the specimen S2 mix with Sahara sand is favorable of resistance 59Mpa relatively at specimen S1, S3 mix with brick clay and Sahara sand addition brick clay.
