The recent researches on Nano materials and nano technologies have highlighted the potential use of these materials in various fields such as medicine, construction, automobile industry, etc., this is due to special characteristics of materials at the nano scale. Building materials domain can be one of the main beneficiaries of the researches, with applications that will improve the characteristics of concrete and steel, glass and insulating materials. Improving the material resistance and increasing of their durability will reduce environmental pollution by reducing the carbon footprint of the building. In this present study by using nano particles (nano-silica and titanium dioxide) which leads to densifying of the micro and nanostructure resulting in improved mechanical properties. The addition of Sio2 and Tio2 with several weights with represents to cement improves excellent mechanical properties of concrete. In these we had added 0.1, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 percentage of Sio2and Tio2. Nano-silica addition to cement based material can also control the degradation of the fundamentals C S H (Calcium Silicate Hydrate) reaction of concrete caused by calcium leaching in water as well as block water penetration and therefore lead to improvements in durability.

Keywords- Nano material, Nanotechnologies, Structural behavior, Sio2 and Tio2.
