Silica fume in concrete - preliminary investigation / G.G. Carette and V.M. Malhotra.: M38-13/82-1E-PDF

"Portland cement is a highly energy intensive material and therefore considerable effort is being made to find substitutes for partially replacing cement in concrete. Silica fume, a byproduct in the manufacture of ferro-silicon and silicon metal is one possible substitute. Results are given of a preliminary investigation to determine the strength, freezing and thawing characteristics and drying shrinkage of concrete incorporating various percentages of silica fume"--Summary, p. i.
