Effect on concrete strength and durability with partial replacement of cement by Nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS): A Review Summary

Abstract

Abstract Concrete has a great ability towards physical strength and durability and is one of the most often utilized building material. The cement companies are finding or seeking an alternative cementitious composite that may reduce environmental impact while increasing concrete’s stability and durability. The researchers have shown keen interest in nanotechnology and industrial by-product which meet the quality standards as well as minimize the harmful emissions produced by the cement industries. This paper mainly focuses on partial alternative to cement in order to improve the properties of concrete, specifically strength and durability. The primary aim of this review paper is to understand the impact on mechanical properties of concrete as well as durability with partial replacement of cement by Nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) by analyzing the existing literature based on concrete characteristics.
