s. The mechanical and durability properties of cement mortars with colloidal nanosilica (CNS) were investigated experimentally. Reference mortar with a low water-to-cement ratio of 0.30 was used in this study. The influence of CNS was evaluated by adding 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% of CNS by weight of cement. CNS was first stirred in the mixing water for 2 minutes before added to cement and sand. Superplasticizer was used to maintain the same flowability. Results showed that the compressive strength consistently increases with higher dosage of CNS at all the curing ages, due to both hydration acceleration and pozzolanic reaction. With the increase in CNS, the migration coefficient and water sorptivity consistently decreased; with 2% of CNS, the migration coefficient and water sorptivity were reduced by 45% and 30% respectively in comparison with the reference mortar. The improved durability could be explained by the reduction and refinement in the porosity, which can be attributed to nanofiller effect and pozzolanic reaction of nanosilica. Furthermore, the addition of CNS could reduce the drying shrinkage by densifying the microstructure in the cement paste, which has not been reported previously.

This work presents the effect of nanosilica particle sizes on durability properties and repair work properties of cement mortar containing nanosilica (NS). Three different NS particle sizes of 12, 20, and 40 nm were used and compared with those of cement mortar without NS and cement mortar with silica fume (SF). Interesting results were obtained in which the particle size of NS affected directly the abrasion resistance and water permeability. NS with particle size of 40 nm is the optimum size and gave the highest abrasion resistance and water permeability. For repair work properties, cement mortars containing NS (12 and 20 nm) and SF experienced higher drying shrinkage than that of cement mortar without NS and then presented cracking behavior and debonding between the cement mortars and concrete substrate. Cement mortar containing 40 nm of NS gave the lowest drying shrinkage, the lowest crack number, and the highest adhesive strength. These results indicate that the particle size of NS affected not only the durability properties but also the repair work properties of cement mortar.
