Abstract
ABSTRACTThe strength of high strength silica fume concretes is usually attributed to the reduction in w/c ratio and the refinement of the pore structure. A study of concretes and pastes, with and without silica fume, suggests that the contribution of the silica fume to strength is also the result of the densification of the transition zone. It is argued here that this influence is as important as the one due to the reduction in w/c ratio. It is suggested that the densification of the transition zone is the result of the effect of the silica fume on the nature of the fresh concrete.
