Nano Technology in Construction
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanotechnology is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines, including civil engineering and construction materials. The Nano-materials and their applications in civil engineering field across its different sections are exemplified. The properties like self-sensing, selfrehabilitation, self-structural health monitoring, self-vibration damping, self-cleaning and self-healing are studied. The objective of this study is to review the role of nanotechnology in civil engineering applications. Furthermore, it has been observed that better understanding and engineering of complex structures made by cement, steel or composite materials at nano-level will definitely result in a new generation of construction materials with higher performance in strength, durability, and other properties.
