Abstract
Nanotechnology, the science of manufacturing material at a tiny scale, creates new possibilities to make dramatic improvements to our lives. Yet, the uncertain impacts to health, the environment, and society that may arise with this emerging technology demand our urgent attention. In order to ensure that the benefits of nanotechnology far exceed any risks, an oversight system is needed that assures safety while providing transparency for both businesses and the public. Over the past ten years, nanotechnology has moved dramatically from the lab into the marketplace [1]. The role of nanotechnology in conceiving of innovative infrastructure systems has potential to revolutionize the civil engineering practice. A better understanding of complex structure of concrete based materials incorporating supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) at nano-level may result in a new generation of concrete, stronger and more durable, with desired stress-strain behavior and possibly, with the whole range of newly introduced ”smart” properties.
