Abstract
The mechanical properties of the concrete can be improved by adding nanoparticles. This research investigates the mechanical strength and durability of nanomaterial concrete using nano silicon dioxide as partial cement substitute. M45 grade concrete with 1% - 4% nano silicon dioxide and a water-to-cement ratio of 0.40 was tested. The optimal result was achieved with 4% nano silicon dioxide. The nanoconcrete cubes were then immersed in 5% conentrated sulphuric acd for a period of 28 and 56 days. The change in the strength of concrete was then noted. Mechanical tests such as density, compressive, split tensile, flexural strength and microstructural analysis such as X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscpe were conducted .
