Abstract

Nanotechnology is a way forward, not only in civil engineering, but in other industries as well. Much effort is being given to these research, and main focus is in improving existing materials, in terms of their properties. In this paper brief information of nanotechnology applied and investigated in civil engineering will be given. Most of the presented research include enhancement of concrete, as the most used material in civil engineering, thus silica fume, fly ash and red mud are presented, as well as carbon nanotubes, which are a great leap forward in this field.
