Description

In this study effect of water-cement ratio (W/C) on the characteristic properties of multiwalled carbon nano tube reinforced concrete is analyzed. Five concrete mixtures of different water-cement ratio (W/C) with and without carbon nano tubes (CNTs) were prepared. W/C of 0.40, 0.45, 0.48, 0.50 and 0.55 were used while quantity of carbon nano tube (CNT) was fixed at 1% by weight of cement (wbc). Ratio of cement, sand and aggregates was also fixed at 1: 1.76:2.66 in all mixes. For maintaining workability 0.5% polycarboxlate based superplasticizer wbc was added in all mixes.. The workability of carbon nanotube reinforced concrete (CNTC) reduced by 60% and W/C=0.50 was found ideal for slump as well as strength. At this W/C compressive strength for CNTC increased by 7.20%, split tensile strength increased by 25.75% and flexural strength increased by 3.87%.
