Abstract
Concrete, a fundamental building material, traditionally relies on cement as a primary binder. However, the environmental and economic challenges associated with cement production have driven the search for alternative materials that can partially replace cement while maintaining or enhancing concrete’s performance. This study focuses on the effects of Nano Silica Powder as a partial substitute for cement in M40 grade concrete, an advanced solution aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of concrete production. The primary objective is to evaluate and optimize the Crushing Strength characteristics of concrete mixes incorporating varying proportions of Nano Silica Powder. Experimental trials are conducted to refine mix proportions and assess performance metrics, including Crushing Strength, durability under environmental exposures, workability, and microstructural changes. Additionally, an economic and environmental assessment is performed to evaluate the feasibility and sustainability of using Nano Silica Powder in concrete production. The study also explores the influence of Nano Silica on hydration kinetics, pore structure refinement, and resistance to chemical attacks, highlighting the material’s potential to improve long-term performance. The findings provide valuable insights into the benefits and potential challenges of integrating Nano Silica Powder in concrete, contributing to more sustainable construction practices by reducing cement dependency and improving overall durability and strength. This research could lead to significant advancements in eco-friendly concrete solutions and sustainable building practices in the construction industry.
