Silica fume as new supplementary cement material has several effects on initial mechanical strength and long term improvement in durability. In this paper, the impact resistance and mechanical properties of concrete mixed with silica fume are statistically investigated by preparing 288 specimens in three mix designs. The silica fume replaced 0, 7 and 14% of Portland cement by weight in mixed designs. Samples were made in different shapes including twenty cube, twenty cylindrical, and thirty-six 150×64-mm discs, casting from each batch for different test purposes. Cubic and cylindrical samples were used to determine the compressive strength and prismatic specimens were tested to obtain rupturing tensile. Also, cylindrical cutting specimens were subjected to the drop-weight test following the ACI committee 544 to determine impact strength of mixed concretes. Experimental data on the mechanical properties of different mixes indicate that silica fume improves mechanical properties and impact resistance while statistical analysis done based on these experimental tests showed the reduction of coefficient of variation values. In other words, adding silica fume improves statistical dispersion of data.
