Abstract

This project presents the result of experimental investigation which was done regarding the corrosion resistance in steel by the addition of zinc phosphate and by the same time increment in the strength of concrete by replacement of cement with silica fume. The experimental study explains the influence of silica fume on the strength of concrete on replacement ratios of 5%, 10%, 15% as well as resistance attained by steel bars after the immersion in the zinc phosphate bath. The results shows that the concrete gained good strength with the addition of silica fume up to 10% and there was slight fall in the compressive strength value when the replacement in made with 15% of silica fume.
