Microsilica is a by-product from the ferro alloys industry. It consists of extremely fine, amorphous silica particles. Microsilica affects the propertiesw of fresh concrete, the pore size distribution and the hydration products formed during hydration, and hereby the mechanical properties and durability of the hardened cement based products. The literature on the properties of microsilica in concrete is reviewed. (Author)
