Abstract: Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising innovation in various fields, including construction and infrastructure management. This paper examines the application of nanotechnology for repairing concrete structures, focusing on its mechanisms, benefits, and challenges. The study explores different nanomaterials such as nano-silica, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nano-TiO₂, and graphene oxide that enhance durability, mechanical properties, and resistance to environmental degradation. The integration of these materials helps extend the lifespan of structures and reduce maintenance costs, contributing to sustainable development in civil engineering.
Keywords: Nanomaterials, concrete structures, nano-silica, nano-TiO₂
