Development of high performance concrete using silica fume at relatively high water–binder ratios

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of developing high performance concrete (HPC) using silica fume (SF) at relatively high water-binder ratios. For this purpose, water-binder ratios of 0.45 and 0.50 were considered. Test specimens were air and water cured and exposed to a mediu...

Civil engineering (General) The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of developing high performance concrete (HPC) using silica fume (SF) at relatively high water-binder ratios. For this purpose, water-binder ratios of 0.45 and 0.50 were considered. Test specimens were air and water cured and exposed to a medium temperature range of 20 °C to 50 °C.
