Correlation between the Compressive Strength and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of Cement Mortars Blended with Silica Fume: An Analysis of Microstructure and Hydration Kinetics

The effect of the replacement rate of silica fume (SF) on the correlation between the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of cement mortar was experimentally analyzed. Specimens were fabricated with different replacement rates of SF, the compressive strength and UPV were measure...
