Abstract

Literature review on Nano Cement to illustrate that the application of Nano Cement in mortar can be applied. The results of its application can affect the durability, workability, and increase in concrete strength. In terms of concrete compressive strength, the use of Nano Cement as a partial replacement for cement is increasing, the higher the compressive strength used in the concrete. So that it can be concluded that the use of Nano Cement for concrete allows it to be applied or used, this is the aim of the Literature Study research. Data collection was carried out by reviewing several journals related to Nano Fly Ash (NFA) in the period between 2010-2023. Journal synthesis uses several national and international journals obtained from the Google Scholar database using the publish or perish application.

Keywords
