Nanotechnology in Civil Infrastructure is a state-of-the art
reference source describing the latest developments in
nano-engineering and nano-modification of construction materials to
improve the bulk properties, development of sustainable,
intelligent, and smart concrete materials through the integration
of nanotechnology based self-sensing and self-powered materials and
cyber infrastructure technologies, review of nanotechnology
applications in pavement engineering, development of novel,
cost-effective, high-performance and long-lasting concrete products
and processes through nanotechnology-based innovative processing of
cement and cement paste, and advanced nanoscience modeling,
visualization, and measurement systems for characterizing and
testing civil infrastructure materials at the nano-scale.
Researchers, practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students
engaged in nanotechnology related research will find this book very
useful.
Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving field finding newer and newer
areas of application that remained unexplored previously. In the
area of civil infrastructure systems such as buildings, roads, and
bridges, there is a drive towards understanding the behavior of
component materials and their interactions at the molecular or
nano-level to manipulate and effect macro-level changes to engineer
designer or smart materials. Nano-engineering and nano-modification
of concrete and bituminous materials have far-reaching implications
allowing the development of cost-effective, high-performance, and
long-lasting products and processes for civil infrastructure within
the ideals of sustainable development. This book focuses on the
latest advances made in the development and characterization of
nanotechnology based civil engineering materials, structures, and
systems. Specific topics discussed in this book include nanoscience
modeling to understand the atomic structure of C-S-H, the effect of
nanomaterials on cement hydration and reinforcement,
multifunctional concrete and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) reinforced
cementitious systems, nano-optimized construction materials by
nano-seeding, moisture damage characterization of asphalt materials
using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation,
nanoclay-modified asphalt binder systems, etc.
