Carbon Nanotubes As A New Material In Construction Industry - Vol.34(2), April-June - Pune NICMAR 2019 - 99-101p.

Nano science and technology are spreading rapidly in the construction field due to their advantages in terms of reduction in self weight of members. Steel is used as a conventional method in RCC construction; however corrosion affects its durability. There is a new material which is being used at the experimental stage known as Carbon Nanotubes to avoid corrosion. This paper discusses and reviews the parameters of research which are carried using Carbon Nanotubes. Further, the paper discusses Carbon Nano-tubes as a construction material, its advantages and disadvantages. Lastly, a comparison is made between the conventional reinforcement material i.e. steel and Carbon Nanotubes usage in modern construction.
