Abstract :
Nanotechnology in the construction industry provides advancement in various levels by enhancement of properties in-depth, such a way that nano materials incorporates nano-composites with enhanced properties. Growing infrastructure development in the construction field, requires advancement of techniques and technology in use. To overcome the critical conditions of urbanization, difficult environments where the impact of area restriction and requirement of parameters to achieve with limited resources. Cement plays wide range of role in such developments. This paper discuss about the enhancement of conventional method neat cement grout with incorporated nano-silica. The use of nanosilica provides enrichment of the governing factors of grout mix, various properties.
