Experimental Research on The Effect of Silica Fume on Tensile Basic Creep of Early-age Concrete

The tensile creep behavior is extremely important in crack prediction and stress analysis of concrete. The main objective is investigating the effects of the silica fume on the tensile basic creep of early-aged concrete. The effect of silica fume on tensile creep was studied using lever-type tensile creep tester. Silica fume amount by weight of total cementing material was 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Results show that concrete exhibits larger tensile...
