Application of nano technology in civil engineering and future trends: A review.

Nanotechnology is a branch of science that works with particles smaller than 100 nanometers in diameter. Nanotechnology has traditionally been concerned with advancements in a variety of domains, including microbiology, medical, electrical, chemical, and materials sciences. The material behaviour of every structure is primarily determined by structural components, with subsequent performance being influenced by the mechanical behaviour of its materials, which operate on a micro and nanoscale. At the nanoscale, commonly used materials can also have significantly different characteristics – changes in colour, strength, elasticity, resistivity, durability and other qualities can be affected. The capacityto modify materials at the nano structural level ensures that the innovation of material conduct and performance predicted to increase primarily mechanical performance,volume change characteristics, durability, and sustainability is delivered. Using nanotechnology to enhance conventional concrete creates a new, smart, eco-and environment-friendly construction material for green structures. This research gave an overview of nanotechnology facts and explanations, as well as specific literature on nanotechnology's application in the construction industry, namely in concrete manufacturing, steel, wood, and glass.
