Abstract: In the present era Nano silica is the next big thing in civil engineering for advancement of cement structure. Many researchers and scientists have been developed a number of techniques to improve the fresh, hardened and durability properties. Engineers are continuously pushing the limits to improve the performance of cement structures with the help of supplementary cementitious materials. The present research work focused on Nano silica. The mortar was made by using Nano silica with partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement at various percentages 0% to 15%. Fresh properties (like initial setting time and final setting time), hardened properties (like compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength) and durability properties.
Keywords: cement mortar, Nano silica, fresh properties, hardened properties and durability properties.
