Hi,
I am a researcher in nanotechnology and its uses in construction fields. In simple words,” The technology which works with nanoscale is called nanotechnology”. In Civil engineering, if we can work on nanoscale, i.e. 0 to 10 nanometer, and able to change the molecular properties of cement, then that modified cement concrete is called nano-engineered cement concrete. Nowadays, it is possible to alter the cement properties according to our use.
- i.e. increasing workability without increasing water content.
- Increasing setting time without adding any admixtures.
- Increasing strength without and additives. etc

The PH value is very important in construction activities, particularly for reinforced cement concrete as it is a composite material created with embedded steel bars. If the PH value of water is less than 7 which is the neutral value for good drinking water, then the water will be acidic. The cementRead more
The PH value is very important in construction activities, particularly for reinforced cement concrete as it is a composite material created with embedded steel bars. If the PH value of water is less than 7 which is the neutral value for good drinking water, then the water will be acidic. The cement concrete’s PH value for fresh concrete will be 12 to 13. This indicates that the concrete is alkaline which gives passivity to protect steel bars from getting corroded. If the water having less PH value than 6, it will start neutralizing the PH value of concrete from 12, to 7 and less, the long lasting alkaline passivity of concrete is considerably reduced, triggering the corrosion chmesity for steel and destroy the steel over a period.
