Effect of silica fume to the strength and permeability of high performance ground granulated blastfurnace slag concrete

A durable concrete is one that has the ability to withstand the damaging effects of the environment and of its service conditions without undue deterioration and excessive unforeseen maintenance over the design life of a structure. The used of high performance concrete is an alternative in producing...
