Influence of Silica Fume Content on Performance of High - Performance Concrete

Abstract

The influence of different silica fume content on the slump, expansion, compressive strength and flexural strength of high-performance concrete was studied. The results show that with the increase of silica fume content, the slump, expansion, compressive strength, and flexural strength of high-performance concrete show a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The optimal silica fume content of HPC(Highperformance concrete) is 3% to 6%.
