Experimental Study on the Effect of Different Nanomaterials in Concrete

Abstract: The infused nanoparticles within a concrete known as Nanoconcrete, has been an unindustrialized area of research that is yet to be commercialized. These exorbitant materials are still in progress of having their prices reduced through different sustainable production to get their way into the concrete industry as sustainable, durable and economical material. The importance of the incorporation of nanomaterials in concrete has emerged as a promising research interest due to the outstanding functionalized properties of the materials at that size level. This study aims to investigate the change in compressive strength as well as flexural strength of the concrete after the addition of hybrid nanomaterials. This paper deals with only three kinds of nano materials: Nano- silica, Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Nano Graphene oxide. Concrete with water-cement ratio of 0.35 is used with 20% paste content and the proportions are fixed using packing density method containing different percentages of nanomaterials. A number of test has been carried out on 100mm3 concrete cubes and 645mm2 briquette mould is used for flexural tests. Investigation shows that the addition of nanomaterials has a significant effect on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. The compressive strength is elevated about 10% to 30% and the flexural strength is also increased from 12% to 25%. the strength of the concrete depends on the percentages of nanomaterials, increment causes decrease in strength. Increase in the ages of concrete, increase the strength of concrete. As compared with ordinary concrete, nanoconcrete exhibit greater performance. This research paper is a trial given some highlight for the introduction of nanomaterials in various types of concrete. Keywords: Nanoconcrete, Nano- silica, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes, Nano graphene oxide.
