    Application of Nanomaterials in Civil Engineering

    Uploaded by

    Christelle Alipis
    Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the nanoscale from 0.1 to 100 nm. In civil engineering, nanotechnology can enhance the properties of common construction materials like concrete, steel, glass, coatings, and plastics. It allows for the development of stronger and more durable materials, as well as nanosensors for structural monitoring and self-cleaning coatings. The application of nanotechnology promises to improve current construction techniques and help reduce costs.

    Application of

    Nanomaterials in Civil
    Engineering
    By: Christelle Marie A. Alipis

    Nanotechnology
    • Is the use of very small particles of material either by themselves or their
    manipulation to create new large scale materials.
    • This refers to understanding and manipulation of matter on the Nano scale,
    say, from 0.1 run to 100 nm.
    Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering
    • Nanotechnology can be used for design and construction processes in many areas
    since nanotechnology generated products have many characterisitcs.
    • These characteristics can, again, significantly fix current construction problems, and
    may change the requirement and organizations of construction pocess.
    • To enhance property of material used in construction.
    • To satisfy the general aspect of people i.e. of quality, control, and reliability.
    • To reduce cost of constructing structures
    Application of Materials
    • Concrete
    • Steel
    • Glass
    • Coatings
    • Nanosensors
    • Plastics
    • Bulk Insulating Materials
    • Plastic Solar Cell
    • Nanotechnology in Fire Protection
    Concrete
    • Is one of the most common and widely used construction materials.
    Nanotechnology is widely used in studying its properties like hydration
    reaction, alkali silicate reaction (ASR) and fly ash reactivity.
    Steel
    • Steel is the major construction material.
    Coating
    • The coating is incorporating certain Nano particles or Nano layers have been
    developed by certain purpose including: protective or anti-corrosion coatings
    for components; self-cleaning, thermal control, energy saving, anti-reflection
    coating for glass/windows, antibacterial coating for work surfaces; and
    durable paints and anti-graffiti coating for buildings and structures.
    Glass
    • Fire-protective glass is another application of nanotechnology. This is
    achieved by using a clear intumescent layer sandwiched between glass panels
    (an interlayer) formed of fumed silica nanoparticles which turns into rigid
    and opaque fire shield when heated.
    Nanosensors
    • Nanotechnology enabled sensors/devices also offer great potential for
    developing smart materials, and structure which ‘self sensing’ and ‘self-
    actuating’ capability
    Plastics
    • The carbon fibre reinforced plastics(CFRP) being light weight material does
    not exhibit good electrical properties. CNT’s are among the stiffest and
    strongest fibers known, and have a high electrical conductivity.
    Plastic Solar Cell
    • The most promising application in the areas of energy and environment
    leading to the sustainable building is the development of fuel cells and
    photovoltaic.
    Nanotechnology In Fire Protection
    • Fire resistance of steel structures is often provided by a coating of spray on
    cementitious process which is no more popular because they need to be
    thick, tend to be brittle and polymer additions are needed to improve
    adhesion.
