Influence of class F fly ash and silica nano-micro powder on water permeability and thermal properties of high performance cementitious composites

This paper investigates the influence of class F fly ash and silica nano-micro powder on water permeability and thermal properties of high performance concrete (HPC) as one of the most important cementitious composites. For this purpose, a fraction of Portland cement was replaced by silica fume, sil...
