    abstract = {The effects of adding Nano-Silica (NS) into self-compacting high volume fly ash mortar have been
investigated. Five self-compacting mixtures with different NS percentage (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4%) were prepared, cast
and tested for fresh properties and as well as for compressive strength, accessible porosity, Interfacial
Transition Zone (ITZ) and drying shrinkage. NS addition up to 2% has been found to improve hardened paste
properties. However, more then 2% of NS will lead to adverse effects.}
