“…The size range that attracts significant attention is below 100 nm (Chang, 2007). Researchers have already perfoemed studies on the application of materials in nano scale and/or pozzolanic materials in self-compacting mortar or concrete with scope to improve mechanical and physical properties (Barbhuiya, 2011;Hou et al, 2012;Madandoust et al, 2015;Mohseni et al, 2015a;2015b;Yang et al, 2015). However, there is limited research concentrated on the cement-based materials properties containing nano-Al 2 O 3 (Nazari and Riahi, 2011b;Li et al, 2006;Oltulu and Sahin, 2013;Barbhuiya et al, 2014).…”
