Abstract

There is a rapid population explosion and a scientists’ obligation to cater to the needs of this population. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to improve the strength of concrete and to reduce the production of cement. But cement is the world widly most used binder. That is why in this study we have evaluated the possibility to substituate cement by carbon nanotubes. To achieve this purpose, it has been manifactured mortars and cement pastes with different rates of substitution (0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) of cement by carbon nanotubes. The flexural and compressive strength have been determined before drawing a conclusion.
