    Nano Concrete

    Uploaded by

    Dvorah Kahn
    Nano concrete is made with Portland cement containing particles ranging from nanometers to 100 micrometers. Using nanotubes and reactive nano-silica can develop stronger, tougher and more flexible cement. Self-healing nano concrete can recover up to 75% of its original strength through microcapsules that release healing agents to bond cracks. Nano powders in concrete accelerate hydration and improve microstructure, strength, and durability through their large surface area and electrostatic forces. Research aims to control hydration reactions and properties through nanotechnology and observation of microstructure with nano sensors.

    NANO CONCRETE

    INTRODUCTION
     Concrete is the most widely used man-made material,
    and the manufacture of cement.
     The main ingredient of concrete–accounts for 5 to 10
    percent of all anthropogenic emissions of carbon
    dioxide, a leading greenhouse gas involved in global
    warming.
     Concrete is a highly heterogeneous material produced by
    mixture of finely powdered cement, aggregates of
    various sizes and water with inherent physical, chemical
    and mechanical properties.
     A reaction between the cement and water yields calcium
    silicate hydrate, which gives concrete strength.
    NANO CONCRETE AND NANO
    INGREDIENTS
     Nano concrete made with Portland cement in which
    particle sizes ranging from a few nanometer to a
    maximum of about 100 micrometers.
     Nano ingredients with at least one dimension of nano
    meter size.
     So the particle size has to be reduced in order to obtain
    Nano-Portland cement.
     Further, if these nano-cement particles are processed
    with nanotubes and reactive nano-size silica particles,
    then strong, tough, more flexible, cement can be
    developed with enhanced properties.
    SELF HEALING PROCESS IN NANO
    CONCRETE
     Experimentation is also underway on self-healing
    concrete.
     When self-healing concrete cracks, embedded
    microcapsules rupture and release a healing agent into
    the damaged region through capillary action.
     The released healing agent contacts an embedded
    catalyst, polymerizing to bond the crack face closed.
     In fracture tests, self-healed composites recovered as
    much as 75 percent of their original strength.
     They could increase the life of structural components by
    as much as two or three times.
    NANO SCALE APPORACH
    There are two different approaches in nano scale process.

     The first one is to form nano scale structure by reducing the size
    of the structure.
    Top-down approach
     The other one is to form the desired material by starting from
    atom and molecule.
    Bottom-up approach
    NANO STRUCTURE
    DEVELOPMENT
    For the development of nano structures, it should be able

    i) to understand the interactions in nanoscale


    ii) to see the structures in nanoscale
    iii) to form, process, and combine the nano structure.
    NANO CEMENT AND NANOSILICON
    NANOSILICON DI OXIDE
    Current research activity in concrete using
    nano cement and nano silica includes:

    (i) Characterization of cement hydration


    (ii) Influence of the addition of nano-size
    silica to concrete
    (iii) Synthesis of cement using nano particles
    and coatings 
    THE USE OF NANOPOWDERS IN
    CONCRETETECHNOLOGY
     The use of the powders in concrete
    technology affects the cement kinetics and
    accelerates hydration significantly.
     It was expressed that larger surface area and
    stronger electrostatic forces of the powders
    lead to these changes .
     The nano powders, additionally, are not only
    as filler, but also as an activator to promote
    hydration.
    THE USE OF NANOPOWDERS IN
    CONCRETETECHNOLOGY
     Improve the microstructure of the concrete when they
    are uniformly dispersed .
     Furthermore, it was seen that the mortars produced
    with the powders have very high capacity, and
    compressive and bending strength, are more uniform,
    and more durable for water penetration
    CONCLUSION
     It is necessary to reduce the size of concrete researches
    which have been concentrated on macro-structure at the
    present time, and to control the hydration reactions by
    nanotechnology.
     The properties of concrete are improved by the use of
    nano powders, and the behavior of concrete is
    determined by the observation of microstructure with the
    help of some nano materials which can be defined as
    nano sensors.
