Investigation of the effects of nano-silica on the properties of concrete in comparison with micro-silica

The effects of adding Nano-Silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of Micro-Silica were investigated in this work. The effect of combination of Nano- silica and Micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with […]

Compressive strength of Portland cement pastes and mortars containing Cu-Zn nano-ferrite

This study is concerned with the synthesizing of Cu-Zn nano-ferrite particles in the laboratory applying simple techniques. The morphology of the synthesized nano-particles was analyzed using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the minerals were identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nano material was used to replace 1- 4 percent by weight of Portland cement in […]
