![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: The effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on physical and mechanical properties of high strength compacting concrete The effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on physical and mechanical properties of high strength compacting concrete](/preview/png/819198.png)
In this work, compressive, flexural and split tensile strengths together with coefficient of water absorption of high strength self compacting concrete containing different amount of SiO2 nanoparticles have been investigated. Strength and water permeability of the specimens have been improved by adding SiO2 nanoparticles in the cement paste up to 4.0 wt.%. SiO2 nanoparticle could accelerate C–S–H gel formation as a result of increased crystalline Ca(OH)2 amount especially at the early age of hydration and increase the strength of the specimens. In addition, SiO2 nanoparticles are able to act as nanofillers and recover the pore structure of the specimens by decreasing harmful pores. Several empirical relations have been presented to predict flexural and split tensile strength of the specimens by means of compressive strength at a certain age of curing. Accelerated peak appearance in conduction calorimetry tests, more weight loss in thermogravimetric analysis and more rapid appearance of peaks related to hydrated products in X-ray diffraction results, all also indicate that SiO2 nanoparticles up to 4 wt.% could improve the mechanical and physical properties of the specimens.
