A Review on the Use of Nano-Silica in Cementitious Compositions

Sakshi Gupta

Abstract

With the advent of nanotechnology, the material properties of the concrete industry, allows engineers and architects to use various materials in structural applications that were once impossible. Nowadays, the researchers are mainly focusing on the basic technology of cementitious material at nano/atomic level. The researchers are continuing to improve the durability and sustainability of concrete and have realised significant enhancement in mechanical properties of nano-silica incorporated cementitious materials. This review paper summarizes the effect of nano-silica addition on mechanical, durability and microstructure characteristics of cementitious compositions. It provides the current development of application of nano-silica in paste, mortar and concrete. Finally, the future potential and implication of nano-silica in cement based materials is discussed.
