In Engineering, a large variety of materials and products enter the market every single day, however, it is always necessary to make a critical assessment to identify what really will benefit the customer, and find what the most appropriate technology for each case is. A search in Itajaí Valley was performed aimed to identify the aggregates in the region, after the identification of the aggregates, the samples were brought to the laboratory for the characterization of these aggregates and then check the viability of high performance concrete (HPC) production using this aggregates. The theoretical referential brings definitions of concrete mixtures, additions, aggregates, additives, binders, and other components used in production of concrete, then, indicate technical and economic differences and advantages that exist between conventional concrete and HPC.
