Preparation of High Strength Mortar with Silica Fume and Steel Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

Portland cement, silica fume and superplasticizer were used to obtain high strength mortar with lower water to binder ratios and suitable binder to sand ratios. The splitting tensile strength and the rupture strength of the high strength mortar were improved further by a type of arc-shaped steel fiber when the content of steel fiber was 3-6.5 vol. %. The results indicated that the tenacity of the high strength mortar improved significantly by the steel fiber.
