Properties of Cementitious Composites

Nano materials are very fine materials, which play a vital role in improving hydration process and filling the pores between crystals. These properties can lead to better mechanical and physical properties of cementitious composites. The Investigation of cementitious composites incorporating different Nano materials such as, Nano Silica (NS), Nano Titanium (NT), and Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) is the main purpose of this book. Specimens were prepared with different ratios of nanomaterial to determine its optimum content. Furthermore, numerical analysis using finite element program (ABAQUS) is conducted to study the strengthening of cracked concrete beam. The analysis should help shed some light on this new and exciting advertising environment, and should be especially useful to professionals in construction field, or anyone else who may be considering utilizing the nanomaterials for marketing efforts.
