Abstract	Compressive strength, Young's modulus, and microhardness are measured as a function of porosity for pastes of silica fume- cement blends made with silica fume contents of 0, 10 and 30 per cent at w/(c+sf) ratios of 0.25 and 0.45. Porosities are lower for pastes without silica fume addition, but strengths are greater at w/(c+sf) of 0.25 at 180 days curing. At a w/(c+sf) of 0.45, however, strengths are marginally greater with large additions of silica fume. Modulus of elasticity is greater without addition. It is shown that silica fume addition at a w/c+sf) of 0.45 results in a relatively low E 0 but high S 0. This is due to a combination of low-density dispersed hydate of low Ca0/Si02 and low Ca(OH)2 content, leading to a relatively homogeneous composite. Correlations between log mechanical property and non-evaporable water content are good for all specimens, with and without silica fume.
