Literature Review: Properties of Silica Fume Concrete
Silica fume (SF) modifies interfacial transition zone between cement paste and aggregate at the micro level. Properties of both fresh and hardened silica fume concrete are affected significantly compared to normal concrete. Experiments indicate that concretes become more cohesive and less prone to segregation in the presence of silica fume, moreover, performance of water demand, setting of time, plastic shrinkage varies respectively from concretes without silica fume. Obvious mechanical enhancement of concrete is observed in the aspects of compressive strength tensile strength, elastic modulus as well as fracture toughness.
