Applications and Effects of Silica Fume and Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Concrete

The application of nanotechnology in concrete adds new content to efforts to improve its performance. Due to the very small size of nanomaterials, the properties of concrete can be influenced by changing the microstructure. The study involved the use of 215 nm nano silica to increase the compressive strength of concrete. Experimental studies were performed at 0.4 , 0.7 and 1 of BC. These tests have greatly improved the strength of the early pressure and the overall pressure strength of the concrete. As the percentage of nano silica increases, an increase in strength is observed. Concrete is the material of present and future. Its widespread use in structures, from buildings to factories, bridges and airports, makes it one of the most searched materials in the 21st century. Due to rapid population explosion and the rise of technology to meet these needs, there is an urgent need to improve the strength and durability of concrete. Among the various materials used in concrete production, cement plays an important role due to its size and adhesive properties. Therefore, for the production of improved concrete, the cement humidification mechanism should be studied properly and better alternatives should be proposed. Current research is the design of M40 M30 quality of concrete. The mixtures developed to obtain more rheological properties and solid properties were studied. In this study, the cement is replaced by silica smoke and nano silica materials. In addition, it is planned to determine the number of predictions of cubes in the program. The current design of the probe is the strength of M40 and M30 quality of concrete. This thesis explore the standard optimization ratio for silica and fume to get the best compressive strength. Further this has to check for Indian standard uses for developing the demand of quality users in India. Finally this research lead us to create the console for evaluating the strength of concrete.
