The Role of Silica Fume in the Adhesion of Concrete Restoration Systems

Abstract: The weak interfacial transition zone between new and old concrete is always paid much attention and controls many properties of repaired concrete, The present work reports a study on the influence of the silica fume on the adhesion of reactive powder concrete (RPC), as a concrete restoration material, with the ordinary concrete (OC) substrate. The results showed that, the silica fume presence in the interfacial transition zone significantly enhances the adhesion strength between RPC and OC substrate. Furthermo… Show more

“…The increment in strength is caused by the occurrence of pozzolanic reactions of portlandite (Ca(OH) 2 ) formed in the aftermath of hydration reaction with silica (SiO 2 ) compositions of POFA. This reaction leads to the formation of secondary hydration products (C-S-H) at a faster rate than possible at early days due to less presence of portlandite [32,33]. The similar effect is observed in Fig.…”

“…Besides, the SiO 2 contained in UPOFA reacted with the Ca (OH) 2 generated by the hydration process of cement to form secondary calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). The aggregate packing effect and enhancement of microstructural density through secondary hydration of UPOFA effect enhanced the compressive strength (Tayeh et al 2013c). …”

“…24, which shows that microcracks were induced in the normal concrete substrate part. The excellent permeability of the high-strength basalt fibre SCC played a remarkable role in enhancing the bond strength of the interfacial surface of the hybrid concrete samples [55]. Accordingly, good adhesion and superior interlock were achieved between the old and new concrete segments.…”
