Silica fume's benefits are already evident in the fresh concrete state before it begins to harden. Its small particle size which is 100 times finer than ordinary portland cement complements the finess modulus of concrete and provides a ball-bearing effect, which improves thixotropic behavior, in effect modifying concrete viscosity.
The fumed silica particle offers superior performance benefits in manufacturing adhesives, paints, and sealants due to its unique particle characteristics with high surface area and purity. Additionally, it is widely used as an anticaking agent and thickening agent in the burgeoning food and beverage industry.
In High Performance Concrete structures, both the increased strength as well as the improved microstructure can be utilized. Both effects are achieved using an optimized concrete technology, namely an extremely low w/c-ratio and the addition of silica fume. In the case of High Performance Concrete, reinforcement can be minimized and/or the dimensions of the structural members can be …
