    Microsilica in concrete contributes to strength and durability through pozzolanic and micro filler effects. The pozzolanic reaction forms additional C-S-H gel at later stages by reacting silica with calcium hydroxide. As a micro filler, silica is about 100 times smaller than cement and can fill remaining voids in young cement paste to increase final density, contributing to strength properties even if not dramatically on its own.

    Microsilica in concrete contributes to strength and durability in two ways: Pozzolanic effect

    and Micro filler effect. The pozzolanic reaction of silica with calcium hydroxide forms more
    C-S-H gel at final stages. The second function is physical one, because microsilica is about
    100 times smaller than cement. Microsilica can fill the remaining voids in the young and
    partially hydrated cement paste, increasing its final density. It has been realized that silica
    fume by itself, do not contribute to the strength dramatically, it does contribute to the strength
    property by being very
