2-Literature Review The Effect Nano Silica on Compressive Strength of Concrete Exposed to Aggressive Environment saloma (2015) Investigate the comparison between the development of compressive strength of concrete with nano silica and that without nano silica and determinate the resistance of the nanomaterial concrete to sulfate attack of concrete. The percentage of nano silica that mixed with cement was 10% of the cement weight . results of concrete compressive strength at 28 days gave a maximum compressive strength.
2- LITERATURE REVIEW Yinfang fan (2015 ) Explores the effect of calcined nano -kaolinite clay (NKC) on cement mortar, when exposed to an acidic environment . Ordinary Portland cement was partially substituted with KNC in rations of 0%, 1% , 3% ,and 5% by weight . The cubes were cured in water for 28 days then submerged in the acidic solution for 20 , 40 ,and 60 days . The optimum dosage of NKC appears to be less than 3% by weight.
2-Literature Review AhmetBenli (2017) investigated the mechanical properties of self-compacting mortars containing silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) immersed in seawater and 10% magnesium sulfate solution . The percentage of fly ash were 10 %, 20%, and 30% replacing by weight of Portland cement and 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% by weight of silica fume (SF) were prepared. The optimum percentage was FA 10% has the best resistance in seawater.
2-Literature Review Hasan Sahan Arel (2017 ) Investigated the effect of micro silica, nano silica, fly ash, metakaolin on durability and mechanical properties of mortars exposed to sulfate attack . the result founded that the optimum percentage of N.S was 4%, M.S was 5%, MK was 15%, fly ash was 30 %.
