Abstract |
|
Concrete is most common material used in construction which is comprised of cement, coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. The key to achieving a strong, durable concrete rests in the careful proportioning and mixing of the ingredients. However the main ingredient of concrete, that is, cement has its own environmental and social impacts. The cement industry is one of the primary producers of carbon dioxide. So in order to reduce the emission of CO2 in atmosphere, Nano silica is used as a partial replacement by weight of cement to increase the mechanical properties of concrete as well as to reduce the environmental pollution by reduction of CO2 emission in atmosphere. This paper also shows improvement in permeability of concrete. |
