Prediction of strength and slump of silica fume incorporated high-performance concrete

Abstract

This study describes the development of statistical models to predict strength and slump of silica fume incorporated High-Performance Concrete (HPC). Experimental data of silica fume incorporated HPC mixes were used to develop and validate models. The HPC having compressive strength range of 40-113 MPa and slump range of 180-250 mm were used. Statistical models were developed by regression analysis. The results of prediction by the models showed good agreement with those of experiments and other researchers. The developed models can be used to predict slump and 28 days compressive strength of silica fume incorporated HPC.
