The effect of fly ash and silica fume on self-compacting high-performance concrete
The paper focused on the feasibility of substituting the ordinary Portland cement with waste supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) that is, fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF). The aim is to improve the compressive strength of self-compacting high-performance concrete (SCHPC) and to find environmen...

The paper focused on the feasibility of substituting the ordinary Portland cement with waste supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) that is, fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF). The aim is to improve the compressive strength of self-compacting high-performance concrete (SCHPC) and to find environmentally friendly and economical application of the abundant FA generated from the four coal-powered electricity generating plants in Malaysia. To this end, the study examined the effects of FA and SF on fresh properties and compressive strength of SCHPC. The study used SCHPC with partial replacement of Portland cement with ASTM C618 class F FA and SF in exploring the fresh properties and compressive strength of six different SCHPC mixes. The mixes contained 0%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 65% and 75% cement replacement by FA, SF was maintained at 10% constant replacement. The water/binder (w/b) ratio was fixed at 0.31 for all the mixes.
