Abstract

The aim of this study was to study the effect of nanoSiO2 on durability of high performance concrete. Four different nanoSiO2 contents (1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) were used. The results indicate that the content of nanoSiO2 has great effect on the durability of high performance concrete. With the increase of nanoSiO2 content, both of the length of water permeability and the carbonation depth of concrete are decreasing gradually, and the water impermeability and the carbonation resistance of concrete are increasing gradually. However, with the increase of nanoSiO2 content, there is a tendency of increase on the dry shrinkage strain of 90 days of high performance concrete, and the anti-dry-shrinkage cracking property of concrete is decreasing.
