✦ Synopsis

In the previous paper [1] modifications of Abrams and Bolomey formulas well applicable to evaluate the influence of fly ash upon the strength of concrete were proposed. In the submitted paper we present the example of utilization of the general form of proposed modifications to evaluate the complex of experimental results reached in concretes with silica fume. Thus acquired empirical dependences can be further graphically elaborated into simple nomograms which enable quick orientation and estimation of the influence of composition on the strength of a given sort of concretes with silica fume. Proposed modifications of Abrams and Bolomey formulas well show the non-linear influence of silica fume content upon the strength of concrete.
