Modeling of Concrete Composite Induced by Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract:

In this present work a response surface optimization was done to study the effect of the variables curing days, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) and plasticizer on the strength of concrete. The variables were varied in three levels and a total of 15 cylindrical specimens were fabricated based on the experimental design. For measuring the effect of the variables, split tensile strength test was carried out on the specimens. For proper mixing of the MWCNT, sonication is carried out with plasticizer and then this mixture is added with water and the specimens are fabricated. Only the terms with p < 0.05 are chosen as significant. The results shows that an increase in MWCNT %, increased the split tensile strength of the concrete.
