“…Finally, it is yet to address the complex nature of the loading in real application, i.e. structural components most time are subjected to complex stress, unlike the uniaxial or cyclic load presented in laboratory [44]. It is very necessary to setup a universal model to broaden the application scope of self-sensing concrete.…”

Modern concrete infrastructure requires structural components with higher mechanical strength and greater durability. A solution is the addition of nanomaterials to cement-based materials, which can enhance their mechanical properties. Some such nanomaterials include nano-silica (nano-SiO2), nano-alumina (nano-Al2O3), nano-ferric oxide (nano-Fe2O3), nano-titanium oxide (nano-TiO2), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and graphene oxide. These nanomaterials can be added to cement with other reinforcement materials such as steel fibers, glass, rice hull powder and fly ash. Optimal dosages of these materials can improve the compressive, tensile and flexural strength of cement-based materials, as well as their water absorption and workability. The use of these nanomaterials can enhance the performance and life cycle of concrete infrastructures. This review presents recent researches about the main effects on performance of cement-based composites caused by the incorporation of nanomaterials. The nanomaterials could decrease the cement porosity, generating a denser interfacial transition zone. In addition, nanomaterials reinforced cement can allow the construction of high-strength concrete structures with greater durability, which will decrease the maintenance requirements or early replacement. Also, the incorporation of nano-TiO2 and CNTs in cementitious matrices can provide concrete structures with self-cleaning and self-sensing abilities. These advantages could help in the photocatalytic decomposition of pollutants and structural health monitoring of the concrete structures. The nanomaterials have a great potential for applications in smart infrastructure based on high-strength concrete structures.

“…The utilization of nanotechnology in roadbuilding construction material lays a foundation for a number of environmental benefits and viability. Nanoparticles are used to manufacture self-sensing concrete for real-time monitoring of various crucial parameters of the concrete structures to improve their safety and performance (Horszczaruk et al, 2016). Assessing these self-sensing materials includes verification of a number of parameters their ability to detect structural failures and damages included.…”

In the context of U.S. road infrastructure, nanotechnology offers distinct advantages over traditional materials by markedly improving durability and sustainability for future developments. The essay presents a full-scale analysis that aims to at the junction between engineering and nanotechnology reliability and strengthen the transportation system against ever-rising challenges. By taking into account a qualitative research perspective, the paper delves into academic literature to provide a view of resilience and innovative nanotechnology applications. Through the exemplary demonstration of the application of nanotechnology, the paper explains the revolution the science has brought about, which includes semiconductor nano-sensors providing for real-time road monitoring and self-healing materials that increase durability. The study emphasizes the mechanical good qualities and sustainability of nanotechnology-boosted materials, upgrading technical challenges and incorporating top maintenance procedures to increase infrastructure strength levels. The investigation, apart from technical skill, also brings in the social and economic factors as well as addressing environmental sustainability, thus moderating growth and ensuring the communities on the rise. The paper illustrates that nanotechnology is a mechanism for transforming roadside infrastructure, and at the same time, the recommendations point to policymakers and practitioners to participate in sustained and interdisciplinary collaboration, respectively. Finally, this study can be seen as one of the guides towards a resilient and environmentally friendly inventory of infrastructure systems where innovation operates in conjunction with resource management and economic development. Applying nanotechnology as well as accepting comprehensive development concepts, policymakers and professionals will design standards that will reflect humans intelligence and promise of the future.
