EFFECT OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SORGHUM HUSK ASH AND CALCIUM CARBIDE WASTE BINDER BASED MORTAR
ABSTRACT Research trends in the construction industry is toward the application of nano materials in mortar/concrete which could act as set accelerator due to the ultrafine nature of silica nano_particles (SNPs). The study is aimed at investigating the effect of SNPs on the performance of Sorghum Husk Ash (SHA) and Calcium Carbide Waste (CCW) binder based mortar with a view to establishing its suitability. SHA was an incinerated ash from ...
