• Nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas which has wide applications in almost all the fields.

• As concrete is most usable material in construction industry it’s been required to improve its quality.

• Improving concrete properties by addition of nano particles have shown significant improvement than conventional concrete.

Improves the materials’ bulk properties.

Ability to control or manipulate materials at the atomic scale. NANOSCALE ATTACK ON ASR (ALKALI SILICATE REACTION)

To obtain thinner final products and faster setting time.

Cost effectiveness.Lowered levels of environmental

contamination.

A concrete made with portland cement particles that are less than 500nm as a cementing agent.

Currently cement particle sizes range from a few nano-meters to a maximum of about100 micro meters.

Carbon Nanotubes.Nano-silica.Polycarboxylates.

Carbon nanotubes are molecular-scale tubes of graphitic carbon with outstanding properties.

They can be several millimetres in length and can have one “layer” or wall (single walled nanotube) or more than one wall (multi walled nanotube).

CNT are also highly flexible.Mechanically, CNT appear to be

the strongest material.The smaller diameters.Stiffest and strongest fibers.

Is the first nano product that replaced the micro silica.

Advancement made by the study of concrete at nano scale have proved nano silica much better than silica used in conventional concrete.

High compressive strengths concretes

High workability with reduced water/cement ratio.

Use of super plasticizing additives is unnecessary.

Fills up all the micro pores and micro spaces.

Cement saving upto 35-45%.

Polycarboxylates or polymer based concrete admixtures are High Range Water Reducing admixture (HRWR).

low dosage-reduce water as much as high dosage of conventional admixtures.

Higher dosage-produce Self Compacting Concrete (SCC).

This admixture type is very suitable for underwater anti-washout concrete.

Resistance to compression - 40 to 90MPa in 1 day.Resistance to compression from 70 a 100 MPa (or more) in 28 days.

Produces high resistance even with low addition (1 to 1.5 % of the cements weight) and gives self compacting characteristics with higher proportions (2.5 %).

Meets the norms of environmental protection.

70% less use of additives as traditional silica, super plasticizers or traditional fibres.

Cessation of contamination caused by micro silica solid particles.

Lower cost per building site.Concrete with high initial and

final compressive and tensile strengths.

Concrete with good workability.

Page 18: nano concrete

Well dispersed nano particles increase the viscosity of the liquid phase, improves the segregation resistance and workability of the system.

Accelerates the hydration.Better bond between aggregates and

cement paste. Improves the toughness,shear,tensile

strength and flexural strength of concrete.

If Portland cement can be formulated with nano-size cement particles, it will open up a large number of opportunities.

The cement will not only be more economical than organic polymers but also will be fire resistant.

A number of investigations have been carried out for developing smart concrete using carbon fibers.
