Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experimental work on impact resistance and compressive strength of ordinary Portland cement replaced by different proportions of silica fume. The main objective of this study is to determine the optimum proportion of silica fume to replace cement in order to improve the impact resistance of hardened cement paste. In addition, proposing a relationship between the impact resistance and compressive strength of the blended cementitious materials after 28 days of curing. To fulfill the objective, different proportions of silica fume of 0, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, and 20% are selected to replace ordinary Portland cement partially. The impact resistance of the hardened cement pastes is determined by the Charpy impact test at the ages of 7, 14, and 28 days. Besides, the compressive strength at 28 days of the paste is also observed. The observation from this research indicates that the highest impact resistance of the composite cement paste corresponds with the silica fume proportion of 20%. Besides, a nonlinear equation is found to describe the relationship between the 28 days compressive strength and impact resistance. This paper can be contributed to the literature of understanding the benefits and effects of silica fume, as well as have an overview of its optimum percentage when dealing with the impact resistance of cement.
