English Abstract

The aim of the paper is to compare the strength and capillary water absorption (sorptivity) performances of the concretes incorporating various replacement levels of silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA).

The study was carried out on water cured and air cured concretes produced by w/b ratio of 0.45 with total binder content of 400 kg/m3.

Total 9 different concrete mixtures with binary and ternary blends of SF and FA were produced.

The results indicated that incorporation of SF significantly improved both strength and sorptivity of concretes while FA had an adverse effect on strength.
