1. Introduction. The main factors that increase the compressive strength of concrete is using low water to cement (w/c) ratio, increasing fine fillers, compacting wet concrete and removing voids (Brandt A.M. 1998) [].One of the effective fine fillers is a silica fume, that is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide (S.A. Abo-El-Enein et al. 2015) [].

silica fume had a higher strength than a cement-silica fume paste with the same water-cementitious material ratio. They concluded that the higher strength mortar must be due to improved bond strength between paste and sand and that the improved bond was due to the conversion of calcium

This study uses silica sand, which has a high SiO 2 content and micron size as a substitute for normal sand with control specimens with compressive strength of f c ′ 45 MPa. Two types of silica sand gradations were used, namely 80-100 mesh(0.177 mm ─ 0.149 mm) in size and 325 mesh (0.044 mm) in size from Bangka as the fine aggregate.
Polymer concrete (PC) is a composite material made from such mineral aggregates as sand and gravel in combination with a polymer. It has a very high compression strength, which is higher than that of the ordinary cement concrete [].Also, due to the adequate bonding between the aggregates and resin, this type of concrete exhibits higher tensile and bending strengths than the …

What is Silica Sand? Silica Sand is also known as Quartz Sand as it is the derived product of Quartz. With the friction of water and wind, quartz broke down into tiny granular molecules. Thus, Silica Sand is formed. They are fine non-crystalline molecules of SiO2. The mineral composition of Silica (SiO2) is a mixture of Silicon and Oxygen.
The theoretical tensile strength of silica glass is greater than 1 million psi. Unfortunately, the strength observed in practice is always far below this value. The reason is that the practical strength of glass is extrinsically determined rather than being solely a result of chemistry and atomic structure as is an intrinsic property like density.
Green strength. The green sand, after water has been mixed into it, must have adequate strength and plasticity for making and handling of the mold. 2. Dry strength. As a casting is poured, sand adjacent to the hot metal quickly loses its water as steam. The dry sand must have strength to
