description In the context of increasing applications of various nanomaterials in construction, this work reviews the renewed knowledge of nanotechnology in cement-based materials, focusing on the relevant papers published over the last decade. The addition of nanomaterials in cement-based materials, associated with their dispersion in cement composites, is explored to evaluate their effects on the resistance of cement-based materials to physical deteriorations, chemical deteriorations, and rebar corrosion. This review also examines the proposed nanoscale modeling of interactions between admixed nanomaterials and cement hydration products. At last, the recent progress of advanced characterization that employs techniques to characterize the properties of cement-based materials at the nanoscale is summarized.
