Description:

Nanotechnology is reshaping the future of construction materials, offering transformative benefits in strength, longevity, and efficiency. This webinar will introduce a comprehensive guideline that addresses every stage—from material development and production to quality control and field application—of nano-modified cementitious composites (NMCC) and nano-modified asphalt (NMA).

Attendees will learn about detailed specifications for NMCC and NMA, including fresh and hardened properties, mechanical behavior, volume stability, thermal and electrical characteristics, and long-term durability under diverse environmental exposures. The session will also outline quality control and inspection protocols such as trial batching, property evaluation, visual inspection, and advanced monitoring techniques to ensure performance consistency.

Real-world case studies will illustrate applications in bridges, walls, and pavement systems, while addressing practical challenges and opportunities for broader adoption of nanotechnology in construction.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1️⃣ Understand the framework for developing and producing NMCC and NMA.
2️⃣ Identify key specifications and performance characteristics.
3️⃣ Apply field quality control and inspection procedures.
4️⃣ Recognize practical applications, challenges, and opportunities for integrating nanotechnology in construction.
