Influence of silica fume on the microstructural development in cement mortars
AbstractCement mortars containing 0, 10 and 30 percent silica fume were prepared at water/cement + silica fume ratios of 0.45 and 0.60. Compressive strength, Ca(OH)2 and non-evaporable water contents and pore-size distribution were monitored up to 180 days. Silica fume reacts with most of the Ca(OH)2 formed during hydration within 28 days and improves the compressive strength of the mortar. In addition it affects the pore-size distribution of mortars by reacting with Ca(OH)2 formed around the sand grains and also with that dispersed throughout the cement paste.
