Nano materials has been introducing in civil engineering
applications.
Nano material has advanced application in the field of construction
and building materials.
Recently, the researchers are capitalizing on nano materials to
innovative a new generations of concrete materials.
Nano materials used in concrete should improve their strength and
durability in construction.
INTERVIEW FOR Ph.D. ADMISSION FOR JULY 2024 SESSION 6
To identify suitable nanomaterial(s) that can be used in
concrete.
To optimize the concrete mix design.
To study the mechanical properties of nano cement concrete.
To identify the various applications of nano cement concrete in
structural elements.
INTERVIEW FOR Ph.D. ADMISSION FOR JULY 2024 SESSION 7
To increasing their resilience to permeability and their
corrosion resistance.
It can be used effectively to enhance the microstructure and
mechanical characteristics (such as compressive strength ,
flexural and splitting tensile strength) of the modified concrete
composites ,thus improving their anti-corrosion.

The usage of nano materials in
construction materials could be more
effective, durable and high
performance in concrete. In complex
structures made by cement, concrete
and steel can be made at nano level
to improve their performance. In this
nanomaterial used concrete
structures made at nano-level will
definitely change the new era of
construction with their lesser effort.

Nano materials had been used in
various applications all over the world.
Nanomaterials are widely used in
construction industry such as Nano
silica, Carbon nanotubes, Graphene,
Nano composites, Nano fibers and
Nano wires have been widely used in
construction.
This review shows that the addition of
nanosilicate in concrete has enhanced
its mechanical and micro structural
properties.

Concluded that cement based
mixture to improve their properties.
The influence of various
nanoparticles on the workability of
fresh composite and mechanical
properties such as, compressive
strength, flexural strength, split
tensile strength, modulus of
elasticity, abrasion resistance etc.,As
per study It shows that the
compressive strength can be
concluded that strength gain is
observed mostly at an early age.

To studied that nanoparticles would
improve the toughness,shear,tensile and
flexural strength of cement based material.
Some of the widely reported nanoparticles
in cement concrete industries are based in
Titanium oxide(TiO2),
Nanosilica(SiO2),Alumina(Al2o3),Zirconium
oxide(Zro2),Carbon nanotube
(CNT),Nanoclay etc.,As per study it shows
that the use of Nano Titanium oxide( TiO2)
to improve the urban air quality in concrete.

To studied the nano silica is used as
a partial replacement of cement in
the range of 3%,3.5% and 10% for
M20 mix. The replacement of
cement 3% is higher strength and
reduction in permeability. It result in
the reduction of cement content in
than the conventional mixes while
maintaining same strength
characteristics, which will lead into
the production of concrete.
INTERVIEW FOR Ph.D. ADMISSION FOR JANUARY 2022 SESSION 13
Several studies have investigated the use of various Nano
materials in concrete . It can improve their concrete performance.
In the addition of Nano silicate in concrete has enhanced its
mechanical and micro-structural properties.
As per study it shows that the use of Nano Titanium oxide( TiO2)
to improve the urban air quality in concrete.
In this literature review reveals the need for future research to
provide the suitable Nano materials in concrete for building
construction.

The novelty of this research proposal lies in the specific focus
on the suitable Nano material is mixed with concrete, as well as
it emphasis to increasing the strength in concrete construction.
It also emphasizes the sustainable and eco-friendly in structural
construction.
