Abstract

Concrete plays a vital role in the construction field due to its versatile nature. It is a combination of cement, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The application of nanomaterial’s in construction is a new alternative to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete. One of the most interesting nanomaterial’s which still require detailed investigation is nano Graphene Oxide (nGO). One of the advantages of the nGO is its easy dispersibility in water and other organic solvents. This remains as a very important property when mixing the material with concrete to improve their properties. On the other hand, in terms of electrical conductivity, nGO is often described as an electrical insulator. Our project shows how nGO can effectively utilized in ordinary concrete and compares the strength between standard concrete with and without nGO. The present experimental investigation was carried out on mechanical properties like compressive strength and tensile strength after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of curing. The mechanical properties are evaluated and get a conclusion that number of curing days increases, the strength of the nGO concrete is also increases. The durability of nGO is more
when compared to standard concrete.
