Split Tensile Strength of Graphene Nano-Engineered Concrete
Keywords:
Graphene Nanoplatelets, Workability, Split Tensile Concrete, Super-PlasticizerAbstract
The aim of this study is to assess how graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) affect the split tensile strength of concrete. In this experimental work, several GNP dosages were used in the concrete mixtures by weight of cement. Concrete’s ability to withstand tensile stresses can be evaluated by its split tensile strength. The maximum tensile stress that a cylindrical concrete specimen can withstand before failing by splitting across the middle is meant by this term. A cylindrical specimen is positioned horizontally between two parallel plates during experimental investigations to ascertain the split tensile strength of concrete. The specimen is then compressed along its axis. The outcomes demonstrate that the addition of GNP can significantly increase concrete’s split tensile strength adding 0.05% to the GNP. This study demonstrates how GNP may transform conventional building materials into cutting-edge composites that are more intelligent, robust, and resilient.
