Preliminary study on water infiltration of concrete containing nano-SiO2 and silicone

In this study, the effects of Nano silica and silicone on water infiltration of concrete were investigated. While they have effect on different properties of concrete, both of them contain much SiO2 molecules. Nano silica with its microscopic grains makes concrete more impact and improves the infiltration resistance. Silicone, as a hydrophobic agent containing silanes and siloxanes, reduces the capillary force, so it has an extreme effect on ignoring water. Infiltration rate and compressive strength test were done for 16 specimens for having a judgment about the infiltration of concrete.
