INFLUENCE OF SILICA FUME ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF FLY ASH CONCRETE

Varsha P. Patil

Abstract :

 This paper presents an experimental investigation on the properties of fly ash concrete incorporating silica fume to improve the early strength of concrete by cement replacements up to 35%. The results indicate that, the addition of higher the percentage of fly ash lead to decrease in values of concrete compressive strength in early age of concrete and silica fume improved the early age compressive strength of fly ash concrete. The cement replacements percentage for combination of fly ash and silica fumes is 20% of fly ash and 15% of silica fumes gain same strength that of normal concrete after 28 days curing with similar strength gaining early age of concrete, that save the cost of cementitious material more than 18%. < clear="all" style="page–eak–before:auto; mso–eak–type:section–eak" />
