Experimental Investigation On Improve The Quality Of Concrete Using Nanomaterial

Nanotechnology significantly impacts civil engineering by enhancing material strength and durability. This study examines ways to prevent concrete degradation, improving compressive strength through nanotechnology. Introducing nano-silica (nS) into concrete reduces porosity and improves homogeneity, addressing issues like steel reinforcement corrosion. Tests on M40 grade concrete with 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% nS showed increased compressive, flexural, split tensile, and impact strengths, as well as oxygen permeability. Results indicate that 1% nS significantly enhances concrete strength and durability.
