The Impact of Nano-Concrete in Contemporary Architecture
Keywords:
Nanotechnology, nano Concrete, nanomaterial
Abstract
The rapid development in technology of building materials and systems could be easily observed these days in the huge building advances such as achieving building sizes, shapes, forms and speed of building which could never be achieved by using ordinary building materials. One of the interested break overs in building materials technologies is Nano-Concrete. Nano-Concrete is the substance of adding nanomaterial to concrete. Nano-concrete has special specifications and properties when compared with the ordinary concrete mixes such as adding Nano SiO2, Nano TiO2 and Carbon Nano tubes to improve performance and structural resistance. This extended the limits of building technologies thus enabling architects to achiev more complex forms with higher performance, or giving the concrete special properties such as light pass-through concrete or self-compacting concrete.
The research deals with impact Nano-concrete on contemporary architecture by following a set of objectives:
- What is Nano-concrete in brief?
- How does Nano-concrete mixes differ from the ordinary mixes of concrete?
- The application of Nano-concrete in buildings and its effects on contemporary architecture.
The research extracted a set of main findings and recommendations from the analyzing of the effects of Nano-Concrete on Architecture.
