Enhancing the Durability Properties of Concrete prepared with Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract
This paper describes the study of durability aspects of concrete incorporated with different dosages of (0 % - 0.40 %) of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Each specimen was subjected to Acid attack test, Chloride attack test, Sulphate attack test and water permeability test for a duration of 28, 56 and 90 days respectively. It has been observed from the experiments that the specimen of 0.25% Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes shows an extraordinary performance among the other specimens. It was also observed that this mix performed much better than the control specimen.
