Development of Nano Cement Mortar as a Construction Material

摘要

The present research examined the compressive and flexural strength of nano cement mortar by using micro cement, micro sand, nano silica and nano clay in developing a nano cement mortar which can lead to improvements in ferrocement construction. The measured results demonstrate the increase in compressive and flexural strength of mortars at early stages of hardening. In addition, the influence of heating on compressive strength of cement mortar. General expressions to predict the compressive strength, modulus of rupture for the developed nano cement mortar in the present work are proposed.
