Compatibility analysis between Portland cement type I and micro/nano-SiO₂ in the presence of polycarboxylate-type superplasticizers

Optimal Cement Mixtures Containing Mineral Admixtures under Multiple and Conflicting Criteria

“…In other words, for the two ages tested, the regular mix (control) can be replaced by mixture 8, which even has higher compression strength at the expense of a slight increase in porosity. is result further proves how nanosilica can counteract some strength loss induced by the FA presence [2,5,17,46]. is is an important finding as it points to the formulation of a sustainable concrete, that is, one that requires less cement to attain structural behavior, using an industrial waste, that is, fly ash and nanostructured SiO 2 particles.…”
