Use of Silica Fume in Stabilizing Cement-Dune Sand for Highway Materials

Effects of Sand and Silica Fume on the Vibration Damping Behavior of Cement

The addition of sand to cement paste was found to degrade the vibration damping ability, as shown by decreases in both loss tangent and storage modulus under flexure. However, further addition of silica fume more than restored the vibration damping ability, due to the silica fume causing increases in both loss tangent and storage modulus. Silica fume increased the loss modulus of mortar by as m...

Experimental Investigation of Silica Fume as a Cement Extender for Liner Cementing in Iranian Oil/Gas Wells

Development of UHPC Mixtures Utilizing Natural and Industrial Waste Materials as Partial Replacements of Silica Fume and Sand

In the exploratory study presented in this paper, an attempt was made to develop different mixtures of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) using various locally available natural and industrial waste materials as partial replacements of silica fume and sand. Materials such as natural pozzolana (NP), fly ash (FA), limestone powder (LSP), cement kiln dust (CKD), and pulverized steel slag (PSS),...

Use of Samalayuca Dune Sand on Glass and Ceramics Processes

Silica sand is widely used in the transformation industry. For instance, it is used in the making of glass, silicates, paints, glass-ceramics and ceramics. Traditionally, glass and ceramic materials have been manufactured using high-purity silica and minerals taken from ore on the surface of the earth. However, during recent decades, the manufacture of household and industrial products has incr...
