Why Does Silica Fume Cause Poor Workability in Concrete?

Why Does Silica Fume Cause Poor Workability in Concrete?

Silica fume is widely used to enhance strength, durability, and impermeability of concrete—but it is also well known for causing poor workability. This effect comes from several material-level mechanisms rather than a single factor. Technical explanation 1. Extremely Fine Particle Size (High Surface Area) Silica fume particles are about 0.1–0.3 μm, nearly 100 times finer […]

How many ratio is the most suitable of silica fume in concrete?

Micro silica ,also called silica fume or micro silica, is a byproduct of production silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloys. Silicon metal and alloys are produced in electric furnaces.The raw materials are quartz,coal and woodchips. The smoke that results from furnace operation is collected and sold as silica fume, silica fume consists primarily of amorphous(non-crystalline) silicon
