Tóm tắt

Silica fume as a partial replacement for cement in high-strength concrete has been the focus of numerous studies. However, the impact of substituting cement with silica fume in concrete mixtures on the mechanical and thermal properties of high-strength concrete remains insufficiently explored. Silica fume, characterized by its high pozzolanic activity and ultra-fine particles, is incorporated into concrete mixtures to enhance their mechanical properties and durability. The research examines the influence of varying silica fume content on the compressive strength and CTE of high-strength concrete. In the present study, concrete specimens with a water-cement ratio of 0.32 were prepared, with 5%, 10%, and 15% of the cement replaced by silica fume. Experimental results demonstrate that silica fume significantly improves compressive strength, particularly at early ages, starting from 7 days. However, the CTE of these mixtures is not significantly affected, with the average values varying slightly, ranging from 8.95 to 9.93 × 10⁻⁶/°C. This study contributes to further clarifying the role of silica fume in concrete mixtures and its effect on the CTE
