Influence of CNT Addition to the Frost Resistance of Concrete

Abstract:

Frost resistance of concrete is one of the main durability parameter of Central European climatic conditions. Nanoparticles are the most worldwide examining in materials science. In Brno University of Technology has been interested in nanoparticles for years. First steps were dedicated in identification of nanoparticles (CNT), their dosage and dispersion. After solving before mentioned steps the CNT implementation to concrete could happened. In article was experimentally verify influence of CNT addition to concrete frost resistance after 100 frost cycles. Per results it could be said that addition small dosage of CNT increased frost resistance of concrete.
