| Abstract | ||
| The increasing demand for resilient infrastructure in seismically active regions necessitates innovative approaches to enhance the seismic performance of concrete structures. This study investigates the potential of elastic nano-composites as a transformative solution for optimizing the seismic resistance of concrete. By incorporating nano-scale elastic materials into traditional concrete mixes, this research aims to improve the material's ductility, energy absorption capabilities, and overall robustness under dynamic loading conditions. Experimental testing was conducted on specimens reinforced with varying concentrations of nano-silica and nano-clay-based composites subjected to simulated seismic loads. The results demonstrate significant improvements in crack resistance, flexural strength, and energy dissipation compared to conventional concrete. Integrating these advanced materials not only enhances the structural integrity of buildings but also contributes to eco-efficient construction practices by reducing the need for repairs and replacements over time. This study underscores the importance of adopting nano-engineered solutions in concrete technology to achieve safer, more durable, and sustainable infrastructures, thereby addressing key challenges outlined in modern construction practices. | ||
