For high-strength concrete, the dosage of silica fume should be increased to 10% ( Khayat et al., 1993 ). UHPC silica fume consumption is usually lower than 15% ( Mazloom et al., 2004 ). For UHPC studied in this paper, if the amount of silica fume is over 30%, it will make concrete extremely viscous, reducing the flowability of concrete.
