Abstract Cement is a building material made by grinding calcined limestone and clay to a fine powder, which can be mixed with water and poured to set as a solid mass. However it is expected that the use of Nano-silica in concrete improve the strength properties of concrete. Nano silica is used in concrete to enhance its properties such as compressive strength and tensile strength. When added to concrete, nano silica particles react with the calcium hydroxide to form additional calcium silicate hydrate, which helps to improve the concrete's strength. This can result in concrete with improved resistance to cracking and corrosion, and with a longer service life.An experimental objective has been carried out by replacing the cement with Nano silica by 0%, 0.5%,1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% for M30 grade of concrete. The test conducted on it shows a considerable increase in early-age compressive strength and a Split Tensile strength of concrete on 7th day, 14th day and 28th day of curing. The final outcome of the project will have an overall beneficial effect on the utility of Nano-silica concrete in the field of civil engineering construction work.
