• A review on ultra high performance concrete: Part I. Raw materials and mixture design (2015, background): “Chan [39] concluded that the optimal silica fume content was between 20% and 30% in terms of the bond characteristics.”
• The hydration and microstructure of ultra high-strength concrete with cement–silica fume–slag binder (2015, background): “Incorporation of steel fibers can greatly enhance the toughness of UHSC [2–4].”
• Ultra-High Performance Concrete: Mechanical Performance, Durability, Sustainability and Implementation Challenges (2016, background): “UHPC exhibited high bond strength to rebar and fibers owing to its dense micro- and macro-structures (Chan and Chu 2004; Holschemacher et al. 2004) (Table 9).”
• Development of an eco-friendly Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with efficient cement and mineral admixtures uses (2015, background): “Since 1980s, High Strength Concrete (HSC) has attracted a lot of attention, which later triggered the development of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) [1–3].”
• Mechanical properties of reactive powder concrete containing mineral admixtures under different curing regimes (2009, methodology): “This is generally achieved by micro-structural engineering approach, including elimination of the coarse aggregates, reducing the water-to-cementitious material ratio, lowering the CaO to SiO2 ratio by introducing the silica components, and incorporation of steel micro-fibers [3].”
• Application of nanoindentation testing to study of the interfacial transition zone in steel fiber reinforced mortar (2009, background): “Mineral admixtures such as silica fume [4,13,16] and fly ash [17] were also introduced to improve the quality of the fiber–matrix interfacial zone.”
