Nanomaterials can markedly improve the mechanical properties of
concrete, as well as reduce the porosity and enhance the durability
of concrete. The application of nanotechnology in concrete is still
in its infancy. However, an ever-growing demand for
ultra-high-performance concrete and recurring environmental
pollution caused by ordinary Portland cement has encouraged
engineers to exploit nanotechnology in the construction industry.
Nanotechnology for Smart Concrete discusses the advantages and
applications of nanomaterials in the concrete industry, including
high-strength performance, microstructural improvement,
self-healing, energy storage, and coatings. The book Analyses the
linkage of concrete materials with nanomaterials and nanostructures
Discusses the applications of nanomaterials in the concrete
industry, including energy storage in green buildings,
anti-corrosive coatings, and inhibiting pathogens and viruses
Covers self-healing concrete Explores safety considerations,
sustainability, and environmental impact of nanoconcrete Includes
an appendix of solved questions This comprehensive and innovative
text serves as a useful reference for upper-level undergraduate
students, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of
Civil and Construction Engineering, Materials Science and
Engineering, and Nanomaterials. Dr. Ghasan Fahim Huseien is a
research fellow at the Department of Building, School of Design and
