Abstract
Concrete changes the world. Nanotechnology changes the concrete world. The nano-engineered concrete can be intelligent,
strong, durable, easy to fabricate, recyclable and eco-friendly. Its potential benefits include improved infrastructures reliability and
longevity, enhanced structural performance and durability, improved safety against natural hazards and vibrations, reduced lifecycle
costs in operating and managing infrastructures, and reduced burdens on resources, energy and environment.
