  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is the one of the powerful ingredient for construction field, this concrete can improved by adding some extra additives like nano powders which helps to increases the strength in the concrete, but nano powder of silica is very advantageous in reducing temperature effects and high hardness property, so it used in highly temperature condition as a coatings and paints, the requirement of journals by using nano silica powder in concrete is minimum. Improving concrete properties by addition of Nano particles have shown significant improvement than conventional concrete. Adding Nano materials in ordinary concrete can improve the performance of concrete including strength, toughness, durability, permeability, fire resistance and other properties. The application of Nano silica in concrete not only save the resources and energy but also protect the environment from the pollution with the reduction of waste material and reduction of CO2 emission. The influence of Nano-silica on various properties of concrete is obtained by replacing the cement with various percentages of Nano silica. In this present work nano silica used as a partial replacement for cement in the range of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% weight of cement for M30 mix. Concrete cubes and cylinders have been casted. Laboratory tests are conducted to determine the Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength of Nano-silica concrete at the age of 7 and 28 days.
