Nano-Based Structural Lightweight Concrete Produced by Iranian Company
For structural applications, it is strongly preferred to make use of the lightweight concretes bearing greatest possible mechanical strength and lowest possible in-place density.
To develop such a product, the concrete blend or its pre-determined portion should be composed of lightweight coarse or fine aggregates.
‘Behdis Saman Amin’ company has produced the nano-based structural lightweight concrete with high strength and lifespan.
The nanoparticles used in the product give strength, impermeability and durability to the basic concrete. The compressive strength of the concrete has been thoroughly assessed.
The special nano-based concrete can be used in shipbuilding and offshore structures, construction and reconstruction of bridges and construction of earthquake-proof structures.
In an earlier development, an Iranian knowledge-based company had also used nanotechnology to improve the resistance of concrete flooring for application in marine industries.
The new concrete flooring was produced by the knowledge-based ‘Aptos Iran’ company with the support of the technology development department of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
‘excellent mechanical strength’, ‘low weight’, ‘impermeability and low surface absorption of water’, ‘improved bending strength’, ‘high resistance to impact’, ‘good surface quality and surface shape’, ‘high durability’ and ‘little change in dimensions’ are the specifications of this type of concrete flooring.
This product is made on two surface and substrate surface.
