Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to determine the influence of silica fume (SF) on betostyrene mix concrete. Extensive experimentation was carried out to determine the influence of SF on the workability, compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete at constant water-binder ratio of 0.40 and SF additive of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. For all mixes, slump test, compaction factor, compressive and flexure strengths were determined at 7, 14 and 28 days. The results showed that the compressive and flexure strengths increased with silica fume incorporation. This study comprehensively produced lightweight concrete and showed a rise in strength as in direct proportionality to the increase in silica fume. Workability fell to a rising amount of silica fume. 2013 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.
