This study investigates the usage of artificial aggregates made with silica fume, which is a by-product ofthe reduction of high purity quartz with coal in electric furnaces in the production of Silicon and ferro Silicon alloys inthe form of fine powder. An attempt is made to produce Cold bonded Silica Fume Pellets by agglomeration technique,which is a light weight aggregate. The usage of Silica fume aggregate in concrete as a partial replacement of naturalaggregate has been examined. The concrete so produced is light weight in nature and the development of such concretewith cold bonded pelletized Silica fume aggregates is to minimize the conventional aggregate which results in protectionof natural environment with the replacement of natural aggregate by (0%, 20%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) silica fumeaggregate. The effect on strength properties such as compressive strength of cubes, moment carrying capacity and strainenergy stored in slabs due to flexure are studied.
