Abstract

This research focuses on the one known application of enhancing concrete properties 
through the incorporation of nanomaterials an important construction material. The study also 
emphasises the role of nanomaterials in improving the microstructure of concrete and, hence, its 
strength, durability, and sustainability. The utilisation of nanomaterial in construction materials, 
especially concrete, is a great development towards augmentation of construction practises 
performance and sustainability. This research assesses the possibility of utilising nanomaterials to 
enhance the mechanical properties, durability and decrease the effects on the environment. At the 
same time, the study also turns to the problems of nanomaterial utilisation, with emphasis at the 
adverse effects on human health and environmental impact. Based on a review of the currently 
available literatures, the research res appears to be justified since it seeks to select suitable 
nanomaterials for construction utilisation, and evaluate the consequent alterations of material 
performance parameters, and the impact of the resultant modifications on sustainable construction 
technologies. The results provide an argument in favour of the further development of 
nanotechnology, along with doing more studies to prove that using nanomaterials will help to 
improve the properties of concrete. That mean greater performance of structural elements more light 
weight and more resistance.
