Abstract

In recent years, nanoparticles have gained much attention in producing cementitious materials to modify both fresh and hardened properties, including their long-term durability characteristics. Due to its higher fineness and surface area, superior pozzolanic properties, nanoparticles have shown more significant improvement in cementitious materials' microstructure. Additionally, some micro filler materials also can improve the properties of hardened cementitious materials by filling up the micropores. Within this context, the focus of this paper is to investigate the optimum dosages of nano-Al2O 3, nano-ZnO and bentonite in the production of medium strength (about 25-35 MPa) structural grade mortar. For the characterisation of materials properties, a compressive strength test is performed. The experimental results showed that up to a certain dosage of both nano-Al2O 3 and bentonite, compressive strength is increased. After that, increasing dosages lead to a decrease in strength. However, strength can be significantly reduced when nano-ZnO is used in the mix.
