Abstract
The study of the mechanical properties of high performance concrete mixed with silica fume aims to study the effect of adding silica fume as a partial replacement of cement on grades M60, M70 and M80 of high performance concrete.In this study, silica fume was the cement and the resulting concrete was tested for compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results show that the 15 percent substitution of silica fume significantly improved the mechanical properties of concrete.It is observed that as the curing time increased, the values for compressive strength and splitting tensile strength are increased. It is concluded that the optimal proportion of silica fume contributed significantly to the strength of high-strength concrete.
