To prepare the alumina cement free vibrated alumina castable, $\rho$-alumina is employed as a binder material, and nano-sized clay is added to enhance the curing strength and give thixotropic behavior. The rheological behavior of matrix of castable is controlled by investigating the influences of ultrafines, $\rho$-alumina, and nano-sized clay on the viscosity of matrix. The microsilica and ultrafine alumina were added 3 wt% and 4 wt%, respectively to the matrix, which showed that the viscosities tends to be lowest values. The rheological property of the matrix is well established by adding $\rho$-alumina as 8 wt% and clay as 4 wt%. The thixotropic behavior of the $\rho$-alumina bonded castable was appeared by introducing nano-sized clay into the matrix and adjusting the pH near to the PZC of the clay suspension.

Functional Concrete Added Titanium Dioxide(TIO2) for photocatalysis was about a result strength Reduction by recent studies. Therefore, The purpose of the study is to review the possibility of TIO2 for using concrete admixture. As a result, Nano TIO2 for concrete admixture helps increased strength of concrete and here are some of the details. The compressive strength and flexural strength of cement mortar added same amount of Nano SF and TIO2 for admixture were development of strength a certain level each other. when Nano admixture use 10%, SF and TIO2 showed development of strength 60% and 40% each other gradually. If I use over 10% Both SF and TIO2, they showed irregular strength variations.

This paper presents the details of size independent fracture energy and bi-linear tension softening relation for nano modified high strength concrete. Nano silica in powder form has been used as partial replacement of cement by 2 wt%. Two popular methods, namely, simplified boundary effect method of Karihaloo et al. (2003) and RILEM (1985) fracture energy with P-${\delta}$ tail correction have been employed for estimation of size independent fracture energy for nano modified high strength concrete (compressive strength ranges from 55 MPa to 72 MPa). It is found that both the methods gave nearly same values, which is an additional evidence that either of them can be employed for determination of size independent fracture energy. Bi-linear tension softening relation corresponding to their size independent fracture energy has been constructed in an inverse manner based on the concept of non-linear hinge from the load-crack mouth opening plots of notched three-point bend beams.

Experimentally predicting the compressive strength (CS) of concrete (for a mix design) is a time-consuming and laborious process. The present study aims to propose surrogate models based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) machine learning techniques, which can predict the CS of concrete containing nano-silica. Content of cement, aggregates, nano-silica and its fineness, water-binder ratio, and the days at which strength has to be predicted are the input variables. The efficiency of the models is compared in terms of Correlation Coefficient (CC), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Variance Account For (VAF), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and RMSE to observation's standard deviation ratio (RSR). It has been observed that the SVM outperforms GPR in predicting the CS of the concrete containing nano-silica.

When the cement paste in concrete is exposed to high temperatures, the mechanical performance decreases due to a series of reactions inside the cement. In this study, we investigated the change of nanostructure of $C_3S$ when $C_3S$ was exposed to high temperature using pair distribution function (PDF) based on high energy X-ray scattering. As a result of X-ray diffraction, there was no significant difference when $C_3S$ was heated at $300^{\circ}C$, but most of $Ca(OH)_2$ was decomposed into CaO at $500^{\circ}C$. In addition, it was confirmed that CaO is dominant in the nanostructure when $C_3S$ is heated to $500^{\circ}C$.

최근 탄소중립에 관한 관심이 높아지면서 건설 산업에서 하이볼륨 플라이애시 콘크리트를 사용하는 연구가 다양하게 수행되고 있다. 하지만 HVFC는 초기 압축강도가 낮은 단점이 있어, 이를 개선하기 위해 나노 소재를 활용한 연구에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 나노 실리카는 포졸란 재료로서 이러한 조기 강도 지연을 보완할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나노 실리카를 HVFC에 혼입하여 초기 수화반응에 미치는 영향과 이에 따른 미세구조의 개선에 대해 조사하였다. 초기 수화반응은 응결실험과 미소수화열을 통해 분석하였고, 재령에 따른 압축강도와 열중량 분석을 진행하였다. 미세구조 개선의 효과는 수은압입법을 통해 평가하였다. 실험결과 나노실리카를 혼입하였을 때, 초기 강도가 증가하였고 미세구조가 개선되는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 건축·건설물에서의 화재 시 구조물의 내화성능을 향상 시키기 위하여 시멘트 모르타르에 다공성 나노실리카(MSNs)에 ZnO입자가 결합된 형태의 분말과 PVA 섬유를 혼입한 공시체를 20~1100℃의 온도 영역에 노출 시켜 잔존압축강도 및 중량변화율을 측정하여 내화성능의 변화 여부를 알아보았다. 연구 결과, 시멘트 모르타르의 내화성능 향상에 나노실리카와 PVA 섬유를 같이 혼입한 경우 내화성능 향상에 기여는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 각각 나노실리카를 0.5% 혼입하는 경우와 PVA 섬유를 0.1vol% 혼입하는 경우 가장 양호한 내화성능 향상 실험결과를 나타내어 내화에 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

In this work, the effect of the addition of Aerosil 200, an insulating resin applied in many industries, on the water absorption of cement plast mixture has been experimentally evaluated. First, the preparation stages of cement plast mixture was evaluated based on corresponding standards and then, the effect of the addition of Aerosil 200 nanoparticles (NPs) to cement plast mixtures with sand weight percentage range of 0-0.1% on the variation of water absorption properties was evaluated based on National Standard Institution of Iran 20185 for Concrete Flooring Blocks - Requirements and Test Procedures. Based on the obtained results, it could be found that excessive addition of NPs did not affect the physical properties of the final product. Water absorption percentage was increased in the weight percentage of cement. By the increase of the amount of Aerosil 200 NPs in the prepared cement plast mixture, the percentage of water absorption in weight percentage of sand was decreased. Cement plast with NPs presented significantly lower water absorption than that without NPs.

Porous materials such as concrete could be subjected to aggressive ions transport. Durability of cement paste is extremely depended on water and ions penetration into its interior sections. These ions transport could lead different damages depending on reactivity of ions, their concentrations and diffusion coefficients. In this paper, chloride diffusion process in cement hydrates is simulated at atomistic scale using molecular dynamics. Most important phase of cement hydrates is calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H). Tobermorite, one of the most famous crystal analogues of C-S-H, is used as substrate in the simulation model. To conduct simulation, a nanopore is considered in the middle of simulation cell to place water molecules and aggressive ions. Different chloride salts are considered in models to find out which one is better for calculation of the transport properties. Diffusion coefficients of water molecules and chloride ions are calculated and validated with existing analytical and experimental works. There are relatively good agreements among simulation outputs and experimental results.
