Abstract

Engineered materials using nanotechnology that will allow maximum use of locally available materials and avoid unnecessary transport. It is clear that nanotechnology has changed and will continue to change our vision, expectations and abilities to control the material world. These developments will definitely affect construction and also the field of construction materials. Of late, the major achievements include: the ability to observe the structure at its atomic level and measure the strength and hardness of micro- and nano-scopic phases of composite materials; discovery of a highly ordered crystal nanostructure of “amorphous” C-S-H gel; development of materials with self-cleaning properties based on photocatalyst technology; nanometer-thin coatings protecting carbon steel against corrosion and enhancing thermal insulation of window glass; etc. Among new nano-engineered polymers are highly efficient superplasticizers for concrete and high strength fibres with exceptional energy absorbing capacity. Nanoparticles, such as silicon dioxide, were found to be a very effective additive to polymers and concrete, a development realized in high-performance and self-compacting concrete with improved workability and strength. Here we are showing the comparative results of improvement on the ductility and yield of concrete beams etc. by use of special purpose additives like nano particles fly ash and steel fibres etc. and cast cubes to check compressive strength alongside we are also casting beams to check flexural strength As also to show effect of fibre addition on strength and to show the effect of fly ash and Nano Particles on the concrete strength.
