N2  - This study explores the potential of antimicrobial agents in high-performance concrete (HPC) to combat biodeterioration without compromising compressive strength. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to create 21 combinations of nanosized TiO2 and ZnO (ranging from 0â??2 by weight of cement in HPC). Results show that ZnO negatively impacts compressive strength as its content increases from 0â??2, while TiO2 enhances it by up to 17 with 2 TiO2. By optimizing TiO2 and varying ZnO within the 0â??2 range, compressive strengths between 81â??100 MPa can be achieved. The quadratic model, with significant statistical values, accurately depicts the effects of nanoparticles on compressive strengths. © 2023 by the authors.
