Abstract

We are experiencing the beginning of a new industrial revolution based on the development of a new level of scientific and technological progress. Nano-scale modified materials have significantly improved mechanical, electrical and thermal properties compared to micro and macro scales. This research studies the self-heating of Single Wall Carbon Nano Tube (SWCNT) reinforced cementitious composites by application of an electric. Experiments were tested for a total of eight weeks, once every week. During the tests, the top surface temperature, the voltage supplied and the current were recorded. The temperature increase and temperature increase rate power consumption were determined. Mortar having SWCNT ratio showed a superior heating performance for 8 weeks. In this study, the bearing elements of the buildings and roads are intended to be a heater. The thermal efficiency of the high performance fiber reinforced composites were investigated.
