The development and use of blended cement is growing rapidly in the construction industry mainly due to the consideration of energy, environment, and conservation of resources. Blended cements are produced using any of the supplementary cementitious materials such as silica fume (SF), fly ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag. The use of SF in concrete may improve the strength and durability of concrete by creating a denser cement matrix compared with conventional concrete, thereby enhancing the service life of concrete structures. In this article, the effect of SF in concrete is reviewed from the point of view of durability. It includes carbonation, resistivity, chloride permeability/diffusivity, sulfate resistance, and corrosion resistance.

A state-of-the-art review on the durability of silica fume-blended concrete – a boon to the construction industry
