Strength Characteristics of Nanosilica Modified Concrete Columns with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Rebars and with Wrapping

Abstract

Nano additives, which contain various supplementary cementatious newlinematerials, such as silica, fly ash, clay, and slags, are used to improve the concrete newlineproperties. New nano modifiers (a Nanometer, nm, is 10-9 m) with possible newlineapplications in concrete technology, have a finely grinded particle size that is less than newlinea hundred nm. Nano additives smaller in size have great potential when exposed to a newlinelarge surface area. Nano materials are very reactive in improving the concrete newlineperformances such as mechanical strength and durability properties newline
