    The effect of water-cement ratio in compressive and abrasion strength of the nano silica concretes

    , Article World Applied Sciences Journal ; Volume 17, Issue 4 , 2012 , Pages 540-545 ; 18184952 (ISSN) Shamsai, A ; Rahmani, K ; Peroti, S ; Rahemi, L ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Development and construction of hydraulic structures like dams, the concrete durability in these kinds of structures has gained special attention. One of the crucial factor in concrete technology is it durability in hydraulic structures. Concrete has to resist against abrasion due to the crash of particles carried by water. To enhance the abrasion resistance of concrete different methods have been offered. In the present stud, the role of water-cement ratio in compressive and abrasion strength of nano silica concrete was investigated. The constructed concrete samples with 3% nano silica and water-cement ratios of 0.33, 0.36, 0.40, 0.44 and 0.50 were experimented. Other design features... 

    Effect of water-cement ratio on abrasive strength, porosity and permeability of nano-silica concrete

    , Article World Applied Sciences Journal ; Volume 17, Issue 8 , 2012 , Pages 929-933 ; 18184952 (ISSN) Shamsai, A ; Peroti, S ; Rahmani, K ; Rahemi, L ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Today, due to rapid development of construction of hydraulic structures like dams, the constituent material used in concrete and its durability in these kinds of structures has gained dominant interests and importance. One of the important factors of concrete durability in these structures is its resistance against abrasion due to crash of particles carried out as hydrated crystalline particulate matter. To enhance the abrasion resistance of concrete, different methods have been offered and investigated by many research3ers/ The aim of present article is to investigate the important parameter i.e. water-cement ratio on abrasive strength, porosity and the coefficient of hydraulic conductivity...
