Effects of nano-silica on mechanical performance and microstructure of ultra-high performance concrete

Abstract The use of nanoparticles in ultra-high strength concretes can result in a positive effect on mechanical performance of these cementitious materials. This study evaluated mixtures containing 10 and 20 wt% of silica fume, for which the optimum nano-silica content was determined, i.e. the quan...
