Özet
Nowadays, in order to produce the high strength concrete in the civil engineering applications, the use of different types of admixtures is well-known. In general, these materials are either chemical or mineral products. In this paper, the formations of amorphous silica of Isparta Region are defined in a technical manner and their use in the concrete manufacturing as a natural pozzolan is evaluated. The effectiveness of amorphous silica in making high strength concrete material is analysed experimentally, and the research findings are discussed. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
