Physico-mechanical properties of lime–silica fume pastes ...
The improvement in the physico-mechanical properties of lime–silica fume (SF) pastes through the incorporation of nano-metakaolin (NMK) was investigated. Lime–SF paste (1 : 1 by weight) was prepared as a reference binder. To examine the influence of NMK on strength development, SF was replaced with 2–10 wt% NMK.
