Use of nanotechnology in concrete has brought fresh perspective to ongoing endeavours to enhance its characteristics. The four main ingredients of concrete are water, aggregate, sand, and cement. Among most ubiquitous building materials, concrete is indispensable. As their very tiny particle size, nanomaterials have the probability to alter microstructure of concrete assets. Adding 230 nm nano silica to concrete for increasing its compressive strength is the focus of this research. U se of 0.35%, 0.65%, and 1% nano silica in place of cement was subject of an experimental enquiry. Its accompanying experiments demonstrate that concrete's early-age compressive strength and total compressive strength are both significantly increased. A higher proportion of nano silica resulted in a stronger material.
