Abstract
It has been shown nanoparticles can act as heterogeneous nuclei for cement pastes, further accelerating cement hydration because of their high reactivity. As a nano-filler, it densifying the microstructure, thereby, leading to a reduced porosity. Because of ultrafine size, nanoparticles show unique physical and chemical properties different from those of the conventional materials. Because of their unique properties, nanoparticles have gained good attention in construction fields. In this study, 1% cement was placed with ZrO2 nanoparticle of 33 nm to improve the mechanical (compression strength and split tensile strength), durability (Rapid chloride permeability and carbonation test) and microstructural (FESEM) properties in concrete structures and results are compared with normal concrete.
