The present study aims to accent the effect of nano-reinforcements such as CNTs and graphene nanoplatelets, on the electrical and thermal behavior of nano-modified concrete. The dispersion agent used is a water-based superplasticizer since this type of agent does not induce air in the specimens and is also chemically compatible. The assessment of the specimens includes evaluation of different physical properties, such as electrical resistivity and thermal behavior. The enhancement of these physical properties by the nano-reinforcement phase, induces multifunctionalities in the concrete specimens. Such innovative nano-reinforced concrete mixtures would enable the use of concrete in new areas like energy harvesting, real time health monitoring and self-sensing of critical structural elements.
