@Eng_93b: @KnowNano hi, can we use nanotechnology in civil engineering? .. I mean construction engineering ?

It may seem strange to think something as small as nanotechnology could be a part of something as relatively big as civil engineering but there is actually a huge overlap. And the biggest area for overlap is materials science.

As one article puts it (http://www.aggregateresearch.com/article.aspx?ID=6279&archive=1):

“Nanotechnology’s miniature answers to developing world’s biggest problems Construction: including nano-molecular structures to make asphalt and concrete more resistant to water; materials to block ultraviolet and infrared radiation; materials for cheaper and durable housing, surfaces, coatings, glues, concrete, and heat and light exclusion; and self-cleaning for windows, mirrors and toilets…”

And the intersections between civil engineering and nanotechnology aren’t limited to that. People are coming up with all sorts of new ideas to utilize nanotechnology in every field all the time.
