Abstract

Generally, for making the civil structures Ordinary Portland cement is used worldwide. Silica Fume can be used as partial replacement for cement to attain high stregth. Silica fume is a nonmetallic byproduct waste of industries. It improves properties of concrete i.e. compressive strength and much suitable for concrete mixes. The main parameter investigated in this study is M40 grade concrete with partial replacement of cement by silica fume by 0%, 3.5% and 5%. This paper presents a detailed experimental study on Compressive strength at age of 7, 21 and 28 day. The effect of Silica fume on various Concrete properties are also been tested. This paper provides an objective to understand the effect of Silica Fume on Concrete for mix design of high strength.
