- Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising field in civil engineering, offering new opportunities for improving construction materials, enhancing durability, and providing innovative solutions for building sustainable infrastructure. Focusing on the application of nanotechnology in the production of high-performance cement-based materials. Discusses the incorporation of nanomaterials, such as nanoparticles and nanofibers, into cement composites, which can significantly enhance their mechanical and chemical properties. Ali also highlights the potential of nanotechnology for creating self-healing and self-cleaning self-rehabilitation concrete structures, improving their longevity and sustainability. It explores the various applications of nanotechnology in construction, ranging from the development of lightweight and high-strength materials that enhance durability and reduce the carbon of building materials, such as cement. In this study, the nano-materials used include red mud, sugarcane bagasse and ash, coconut fiber, rice husk, industrial waste sludge from the paper and pulp industry, and manufactured sand obtained from construction and demolition waste. These blocks have thermal insulation properties and high compressive strength as a walling material in a building. In this paper, the mechanical and durability properties of mud blocks made using Agricultural, Industrial, Construction, and Demolition Waste for Sustainable Construction have been ascertained.
