This open access book covers emerging opportunities and future use of nanotechnology in
construction including deep advances in cement chemistry nanotechnology artificial
intelligence robotics concrete technology and extreme engineering (blast impact and fire).
The proceedings also presents sectorial interactions within the traditional construction
industry supply chain enabled by the dynamic partnership between international industry
government agencies and universities. Nanotechnology has transformed the construction
materials industry into an advanced manufacturing sector to address climate change and carbon
neutrality challenges by delivering sustainable and resilient infrastructure assets. Hence
this book reports specific advances in nanoscience and nano-engineering and their impacts on
numerous novel construction materials including binders additives high-performance concrete
materials concrete structural systems polymer composites and pavement materials.
