Abstract

This article presented a review on the nano-modified smart concrete. Incorporating particles that are nanoscale in size into concrete may result in radically improved properties compared to concrete that has only conventional grain-size materials of the same chemical composition. Thus, it may be possible to re-engineer many existing products and to design new products that function at unprecedented levels and even in unprecedented ways.
