Abstract

Durability is one of the primary factors influencing the serviceability of a concrete structure. Out of which, the control of water penetration in concrete has become a challenge in the field of civil engineering. To increase the durability of concrete, numerous techniques have been developed to prevent water from penetrating it. In this study, nanotechnology has been utilized to determine the various possibilities of incorporating an additive into cement in order to produce a ready-mixed cement concrete that reduces water penetration once it has solidified. At various ages of concrete, various strength and durability-related physical parameters were evaluated. (i.e., three days, seven days, and twenty-eight days) with various proportions of additives, admixture, cement, FA, and CA. The efficacy of a reduction in water penetration using Nitobond SBR Latex monomer in concrete has been determined by plotting the test results on graphs. Comparing the concrete to conventional, OPC cement concrete allowed researchers to examine the efficiency and necessity of curing. The graphical representation of strength for both conventional concrete and waterproofed cement concrete reveals that the cube with 1.25% monomer has a higher resistance to water penetration, while @ 0.75% monomer (Optimum dosage), the resistance to water penetration is 6% less than the maximum value. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
