Comprehensive multiscale techniques to estimate the compressive strength of concrete incorporated with carbon nanotubes at various curing times and mix proportions

Concrete as a building material is classified as either normal or high strength based on its compressive strength. The compressive strength of conventional concrete ranges somewhere around 20–40 MPa. The incorporation of high-performance nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), into the concre...
