Abstract The objective of this research work is to investigate the strength properties of cement mortar using NanoSiO2 used in the mortar mixture. Nano material in mortar helps to fill the pores by replacement of cement 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% with superplasticizer 1%, 2% and W/b ratio 0.25, 0.35 and 0.50 used in thiswork. Addition of NanoSiO2 in mortar mixtures has been found to give better compressive strength. Further, Nano cement, Nano flyash and Nano sand are also used in this experimental work as a replacement for cement and sand to the Nano level for the purpose of investigation. Analyse the internal structures of different mortar mixture with Nano sand, Nano cement, Nano fly ash. Top Keywords Nano material, Nano SiO2, Cement mortar, Nanocement, Nanosand, Nanoflyash. Top |
