This research aims to evaluate the impact of silica fume and fly ash on the properties of high-strength self-compacting concrete.
Used silica fume and fly ash as cement replacements in different percentages.
Applied Response Surface Methodology in Minitab to optimize mixture proportions.
Conducted X-ray diffraction analysis to assess microstructural changes.
Combination of 5% silica fume and 20% fly ash improved slump flow and compressive strength.
The optimized mix showed less water absorption compared to control.
Silica fume enhanced early-age strength, while fly ash improved long-term strength.
