Abstract Nanotechnology is widely used in construction to advance high performance and durability materials, as represented by concrete, which nanomaterials such nanosilica (SiO 2 ), nano-alumina (Al O 3 nanotitanium oxide (TiO ) are replace cement a partial binder. Suitable amounts of adding these beneficial with regard the mechanical, economic, environmental aspects concrete.

Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. Its huge popularity is the result of a number of well-known advantages, such as low cost, general availability, and wide applicability. But this popularity of concrete also carries with it a great environmental cost. The billions of tons of natural materials mined and processed each year, by their sheer volume, are bound t...
