TL;DR: In this article, the quantitative relationship between the content of old attached mortar and the performance of recycled aggregate at the material level was analyzed. And three aspects of the performance prediction, application range and reinforcement method for RAs were illustrated in the article.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of nano-silica addition on mechanical, durability and microstructure characteristics of paste, mortar and concrete is summarized and the future trend/potential and implication of nano silica in cement-based materials is discussed.
Abstract: The research nowadays is mainly focusing on the basic science of cementitious material at nano/atomic level. Further, researchers are continuing to improve the durability and sustainability of concrete and have realized significant increment in mechanical properties of cementitious materials by incorporating nano-silica. The review paper summarizes the effect of nano-silica addition on mechanical, durability and microstructure characteristics of paste, mortar and concrete. It provides the current development of application of nano-silica in paste, mortar and concrete. Finally, the future trend/potential and implication of nano-silica in cement-based materials is discussed.
