Abstract

Civil Engineering is one of the vast specializations that required an advanced research to utilize the current trend in Nano technology especially utilizing eco-friendly Nano materials for various constructions such as roads, building, soil stabilization and backfill material treatment. Nanomaterials enhance the strength, durability against aggressive chemical compounds and elements that extend the effective service life of the structure. Nanomaterials can also help to reduce the need for raw materials for upkeep and repair. In particular for heavy-duty applications, Nano materials are crucial in the development of high-strength and low-energy buildings. The outcomes of laboratory and field experiments on the effects of Nano materials on the environment are also thoroughly analyzed. There are many different types of Nano particles accessible nowadays, but TiO2 was chosen for this investigation. There are several civil engineering applications for this, to investigate how mechanical properties (compressive strength and flexure strength) are affected by TiO2 Nano particles (NT). In this investigation, M30grade concrete with TiO2 at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 percent by adding to the weight of cement was used.
