The purpose of this paper is to investigate and determine the effect of colloidal silica with a particle size of 10 nm (with 2%, 3%, and 4% replacement) on high-performance shotcrete from a rheological and mechanical perspective. In addition, to compare these indicators, silica fume is used with a 4% and 7% mixing rate.
The compressibility decreased only after 10 min of mixing for the blend having 1% colloidal silica loading (E1-10) and after 1000 of mixing for the blend having 5% colloidal silica loading (E5 – 1000) due to the de-aggregation of large colloidal silica aggregates in sufficient mixing time and better colloidal silica redistribution.

This review focuses on the multifunctional roles of silica in different pharmaceutical formulations including solid preparations, liquid …
Therefore, colloidal silica may greatly influence the CAC cement hydration process and phases. Mostafa [ 1 ] found that the addition of silica fume to CAC cement prevented the strength loss of castables because the conversion reactions from CAH 10 to C 28 and C 36 were prevented, and Son [ 18 ] found similar results using nano …

Nucleation seeding is a new approach to control the kinetics of cement hydration. It is known that nano-silica has an accelerating effect on cement hydration. It is assumed that the surface of these particles act as a nucleation site for C–S–H-seeds which then accelerate the cement hydration. In this case the acceleration should depend on …
