EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON NANO CONCRETE

This highlights the importance of light weight nature of structural elements via replacing certain percentage of cement by nano materials.Nano science concerns with mere atomic scale. To be specific now Nano computers are come into picture. The world can be shrunk into Nano scale for the Universe diameter of approximately 12,000 km. By the usage of nano materials, not only more surface area but also dirt-free environment might prevail. The science of nano is now leading to nanotechnology which is the application in many engineering and science field. Nano technology can be defined as “the design, characterization, production and application of materials, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nano scale”. Nano technology is one of the most important key technologies of the twenty first century while its economic impact is another aspect to be recognized. Nano technology is an enabling technology that opens new possibilities in construction sustainability. Concrete is the most commonly used material for construction. A concrete produced by replacing a certain percentage of cement with nano material is called the nano concrete. The mechanical behavior of concrete material depends on the phenomenon that occurs on a nano scale.
