Abstract
This research delves into the potential use of fumed nanosilica in ultra-high performance concrete for ballistic protection. First, the mechanical properties, slump flow, and specific gravity of UHPC with different contents of Aerosil 200 were determined. Then, calorimetric studies were conducted on these cement composites. Lastly, the differential efficiency factor and spalling area of UHPC with fumed nanosilica were determined. It was found out that the slump flow, the mechanical properties, and differential efficiency factor are slightly decreased by the addition of fumed nanosilica. However, the addition of the fumed nanosilica is beneficial in terms of the spalling area decrease and it is highly reactive during the induction period. Some of the results are supported by BSEM imaging.
