Microsilica in concrete

Microsilica has been called the most important new product in concrete technology in the 1990's and has given civil engineers another tool in the design and construction of structures for the next century.

To promote microsilica in concrete is to promote high quality concrete technology and the benefits of advanced concrete materials:
durable infrastructure,advanced concrete structures andsustainable high quality concrete construction.

Bridge construction, marine structures, parking structures, water supply and sewage facilities all benefit from the use of microsilica (silica fume). The special properties of microsilica concrete give benefits in fresh concrete properties, so rheology improvements give benefits for concrete pumping and stability of the concrete mix. Special concretes like high strength concrete, light weight concrete (LWC, LWAC), shotcrete and low permeability concretes are better made with microsilica.
