Results indicate that the compressive strength development of the paste made from Ca（OH）2 and nano-SiO2, the reaction rate of Ca（ OH）2 with nano- SiO2 and the velocity of C-S-H gel formation from Ca （ OH）2 with nano-SiO2 showed marked increases over those of Ca（ OH）2 with silica fume. Furthermore, the bond strength at the interface between aggregate and hardened cement paste, and the bending strength of concrete incorporated with 3% .NS increased more than those with SF, especially at early ages. To sum up, the pozzolanic activity of nano-SiO2 was much greater than that of silica fume. The results suggest that with a small amount of nano-SiO2, the Ca（ OH）2 crystal at the interface between hardened cement paste and aggregate at early ages may be effectively absorbed in high performance concrete.展开更多

The experimental results show that the freezing resistance of high-performance concrete has been effectively improved. The compressive strength of C60, C70 and C80 high-performance concrete added with nano-SiO2 can be improved by 8%, 6% and 5% respectively, the weight loss can be reduced by 1%, 0.6% and 0.3% respectively and the relative dynamic elastic modulus can be improved by 7%, 4% and 6% respectively after the 300 times freeze-thaw cycle.展开更多

With the characterization using water contact angle （WCA） tester, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, atomic force microscopy （AFM） and simultaneous thermal analysis, the as-prepared coating displayed a tremendous WCA of 154.8±1°, sliding angle （SA） about 3.5° and stable self-cleaning property range from -10 to 80 ℃.
