In the present study, the mechanical and durability properties of silica nanoparticle (SNP)-incorporated fly ash (FA) concrete mix were examined after 365 days of exposure. The dosages of FA replaced by cement in the present study were 30%, 40%, and 50%, while 3% SNPs were added by the weight of cement in the FA incorporated mix. For a comparison of SNPs with silica fume (SF), 6% SF was added (by the weight of cement) and entire casting was performed at a constant water to binder (w/b) ratio of 0.29. The present work is the extension of a previous study wherein durability properties of the same mixes were reported for up to 180 days of exposure. Compressive strength results show that in the presence of SNPs, the enhancement in compressive strength was in the range of 10–14%, while, in presence of SF, 8–10% of the enhancement was observed as compared to control. However, exposed samples in a carbonation environment showed that the compressive strength of the control and SF incorporated mix increased, while SNP-incorporated samples showed negligible enhancement. Further, sulphate exposed mix show that compressive strength decreases, however, the SNP-incorporated mix showed the lowest reduction compared to other mixes. Therefore, the study shows that the SNP-incorporated mix has higher mechanical properties and more durability compared to other mixes in a severe environment.

The modified PFA via silica nanoparticle insertion was studied under different experimental conditions. In the key step, thermal and mechanical properties variations of the material (thermal stability, vitrification) were closely correlated with the type of the silica nanoparticles employed. To reach the results, thermal analytical experiment were conducted such as TGA or DMTA. Moreover, the silica nanoparticles surface modifications were highlighted from TGA and FTIR. Their morphology and dispersion into the polymer were shown by TEM measurements.

This study examines the effect of nanosilica addition to the physical and mechanical properties of sugar palm fibers (SPFs) reinforced cement composite concrete. The composite concrete ingredients are SPFs as the filler, cement and nano-silica as the matrix, CaCl2 as the catalyst, and water. Testing and fabrication of the composite concrete were performed according to the standard of ASTM C 1185 and ASTM C 1186. The results obtained show that, in general, the addition of nanosilica improves the quality of the composite concrete. A positive effect is attained by adding nanosilica to its optimum amount. The excessive addition of nanosilica reduces the quality of the composite. The composite's mechanical property that is negatively affected by the addition of the nanosilica is the elasticity, in which more nanosilica added stiffer the composite.
