Oceanit has developed a nanotechnology based admixture that would significantly transform traditional concrete into “NanoConcrete, a smart building material with inherent sensor and structural health monitoring capabilities.
In addition, NanoConcrete exhibits enhanced physical and chemical performance without additional weight, significant improvements in crack resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal performances, and workability.
Furthermore, Nanoconcrete will have a lower environmental impact – higher-strength, less-volume, lighter-weight structures with lower CO2 emissions and smaller carbon footprint.
Lastly, this new technology is scalable, cost effective, simple to apply, and safe.Smart multifunctional structures built with NanoConcrete, would offer a novel way to monitor the health of critical structures that undergo severe wear and tear – like concrete bridges, levies etc. NanoConcrete prevents structural damage caused by dynamic loading at a bridge’s structural level, whereas normal reinforced concrete lacks the ability to deter the crack formation.
Another potential application for NanoConcrete smart material is smart highways that could potentially track the location, weight and speed of traffic. Lastly, 8-10 percent of human-produced CO2 is a direct result of the mining, processing, and transport of concrete. Using light-weight, high strength NanoConcrete will help reduce current CO2 emissions.
