Bubshait, A A and Tahir, B (1997) Effect of silica fume on the concrete-steel bond. Building Research & Information, 25(6), pp. 365-369. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
Laboratory study on the enhanced engineering properties obtained by using silica fume as an admixture to concrete. Silica fume is used as an admixture to concrete to improve the engineering properties, Additions of silica fume improve the bond between concrete and steel reinforcing bars. The authors describe a laboratory study which explores the ultimate pullout load of steel reinforcing bars from concrete enhanced with silica fume.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
