Abstract:- Concrete's poor tensile strength has a number of negative ramifications for its performance as an efficient construction material. This includes the necessity to support rebars as well as the need for thick-walled components that are visually appealing and use a lot of aggregates. In many metropolitan places, the total is becoming increasingly rare. RPC (reactive powder concrete) is a revolutionary technique that overcomes these constraints. To avoid the linked difficulties, avoid aggregation in RPC. RPC is made composed of very fine particles (cement, sand, quartz powder, and silica fume), optional steel fibres, and superplasticizers. The chosen dosage superplasticizer decreases the processability of the W/C ratio in concrete. By optimising the packing of dry, finely powdered particles, an extremely dense matrix is generated. RPC's low porosity makes it extremely durable. RPCs enable the use of reinforced concrete structures composed of elongated structures with enhanced seismic response, and therefore pseudoplastic cold ceramics may be applied in various industries. The research focuses primarily on the workability of reactive powder concrete, which can alter its strength. The primary goal of our project is to investigate the effects on RPC compression strength of modifying or varying the dose of concrete components such as silica fume and super plasticizers.
