Use of condensed silica fume for making high-strength, self-consolidating concrete

Development of High-strength Self-consolidating Concrete

Improving the workability and strength of silica fume concrete by using silane-treated silica fume

Mortar with high workability even without a water-reducing agent and with high tensile and compressive strengths (3.1 and 78 MPa, respectively) was obtained by using as an admixture silica fume that had been surface treated with a silane coupling agent. The treatment enhanced the wettability of silica fume by water, thereby increasing the workability of the mortar mix. It also enhanced the bond...

Modeling of Compressive Strength for Self-Consolidating High-Strength Concrete Incorporating Palm Oil Fuel Ash

Modeling is a very useful method for the performance prediction of concrete. Most of the models available in literature are related to the compressive strength because it is a major mechanical property used in concrete design. Many attempts were taken to develop suitable mathematical models for the prediction of compressive strength of different concretes, but not for self-consolidating high-st...

Effects of Silica Fume in Conventional Concrete

The production of tailor made high strength and high performance concrete are made by incorporating silica fume into the normal concrete and it is a routine one in the present days. The mix proportioning is intricate and the design parameters are increased due to the incorporation of silica fume in conventional concrete. The aim of this paper is to look into the different mechanical properties ...

Influence of Silica Fume on Normal Concrete

The incorporation of silica fume into the normal concrete is a routine one in the present days to produce the tailor made high strength and high performance concrete. The design parameters are increasing with the incorporation of silica fume in conventional concrete and the mix proportioning is becoming complex. The main objective of this paper has been made to investigate the different mechani...
