To produce them it is required to reduce the water/powder ratio and increase the binder content. Superplasticizers are commonly used to achieve the workability. Silica fume is one of the popular pozzolanas used in concrete to get imporved properties. The use of silica fume in conjuction with superplastisizers has become the backbone of high strength and high performance concrete. An experimental program has been carried out to study the effect of superplasticizer alone and in conjuction with silica fume on some of the properties of fresh and harden of concrete. Index Terms—high strength concrete, high performance concrete, superplastcizer, silica fumeI.Read More
