Abstract: This paper presents the application of multi-objective optimization approach to high performance concrete mixture proportioning. An integrated mathematical model was developed in order to optimize six criteria, which are the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient, per cubic meter cost, the amount of cement, fly ash, slag, chemical admixture. This model needs to satisfy with ten functional constraints and seven design variables. The Visual Interactive Analysis Method (VIAM) was used to solve the multicriteria task. Eventually, twelve solutions have been found for the different cases in terms of criteria during the process of proportioning high performance concrete mixture. They are all Pareto solutions, which allow experts to choose in the proposed cases.
