  • Abstract:
  • This experiment investigates the effect of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) on Mechanical properties of High Strength Concrete with addition of 0.1% Basalt Fiber and GGBFS of proportion 0%, 10%, 20%. Concrete were made with 0.01% of functionalized MWCNTs produced by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method and water to Cement ratios of 0.35 – 0.55. The main aim of this experiment is to identify the enhancement in the mechanical properties with the use of MWCNT. The results shows that the MWCNT can be an effective means to improve the mechanical properties. Specimens which undergone curing gained high strength with gradual increase on 7 and 28 days. The highest strength for compressive, flexural, split tensile is achieved with the proportion of 20 % GGBFS, 0.1 % Basalt Fiber, 0.01 % of MWCNT.
