Specimens from 27 batches of concrete with water to cementitious (cement plus silica fume) ratio of to, with and without entrained air, were tested for freezethaw durability in accordance with ASTM C666, procedure A (freezing and thawing in water). In addition, another set of similar specimens were moist cured for 28 days instead of 14 days and tested in accordance with ASTM C666 ...

The paper presents a review on the role of silica fume in concrete, based mainly on the experience of the author and that of his colleagues. Statistics on the amount of silica fume production, its composition, quality and the way it is handled and proportioned for making concrete are described briefly. Various factors such as water/cement ratio, temperature of curing, superplasticizer, etc ...
silica fume concretes and cement; it fills in pores fortheir sensitivity to curing procedures were evaluated and compared with reference Portland cement concretes, having either the same concrete content as the silica fume concrete or the same water to cementitious materials ratio. The marked increase in the strength of the silica fume concrete over the two reference concretes, pores;, it ...
The effects of silica fume on compressive strength Cabrera et al (1990) shows that the permeability decreases of mortar at the age of 3, 7 and 28 days when a part with the addition of silica fume to concrete. Punkki et al of cement is replaced by silica fume. (1996) reported that the loss of workability due to the use of 2.
This study is necessary because silica fume is expansive in nature, and fly ash is cheap and abundantly available in India. Therefore, use of small proportion of silica fume along with large proportion of Indian fly ash, is expected to provide overall economy without compensating in the desirable properties of concrete. The investigation is divided into two parts. In the first part, the ...
Concrete containing silica fume as a partial replacement for cement exhibits an increased compressive strength because of the improved strength of its cement paste constituent. Changes in the pasteaggregate interface caused by silica fume appear to have little effect on the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete. INTRODUCTION It is well recognized that the use of silica fume as a partial ...

increase in silica fume percentage with both types of cements. The decrease is more with fly ash cement than slag cement. But the reverse pattern is obtained for concrete the results show decrease in 7days,28 days and 56 days compressive strength of concrete due to inclusion of silica fume in the matrix. The increasing dose of silica fume ...
silica fume is expected to strengthen the interface by the micro filler effect [7]. The high silica content in silica fume can produce CSH crystal by combining with calcium hydroxide in the water supplied condition [8], which can enhance the interface bonding strength. As a supplementary material, surface penetrant was employed. To form chemical bonds between the existing concrete and the ...
silicafume concrete prepared in a laboratory has failed to produce the expected hardened concrete properties, whether the property is compressive strength or low problem is particularly common in laboratories having small, and often less efficient, concrete mixers. BACKGROUND Silica fume is a very fine powder — the particles are approximately 1⁄ 100 the diameter of ...

This investigation includes the use of limestone dust as partial substitution of cement in combination with agent and silica fume to produce sustainable Lightweight Concrete (LWFC). This study consists of two stages. In the first stage, trial mixes were performed to find the optimum dosage of agent. Limestone dust was used as a partial replacement for cement. Chemical analysis ...
The compressive strength development of sealed highperformance concrete and paste specimens, with and without silica fume, have been studied from 1 day and up to 4 years. The paste and concrete specimens were prepared in such a way that segregation was avoided and the silica fume became well dispersed. Under these conditions silica fume increased the strength of paste just as much as it ...
Silica fume is very reactive pozzolan, while it is used in concrete because of its fine particles, large surface area and high SiO 2 content. Silica fume is much fined separated silica obtained ...
