Abstract: This paper presents the recent trends of usage of nanotechnology in civil engineering applications, specifically on materials. Conventional concrete is being improved by applying nanotechnology based materials which aims at developing a novel, smart, eco- and environment- friendly construction material towards the green structure. In today's life, though utilization of cement based materials plays a vital role in the infrastructure development, it is polluting the environment by emitting CO2. Many researchers have been pursuing to evolve new or alternate material towards a green and sustainable solution. This paper presents the possible role of nanotechnology for the construction applications. It also discusses the application of nanotechnology and nanotechnology derived materials in the area of cement based materials and their composites. Further, the mechano-chemical activation process of cement based materials and their formation using nano based organo-mineral !
is also presented in brief. It has been observed that the inclusion of nano particles would improve the toughness, shear, tensile and flexural strength of cement based materials. Further, it is observed that the better understanding and judicious engineering of complex structure of cement-based material at nano-level will definitely result in a new generation of construction materials with enhanced properties, viz., strength and durability.
