This review paper discussed the nanomaterials used in concrete and focus on the effects on concrete resists by impact loading at elevated temperatures. Basically, the use of nanomaterials is to increase the performance of concrete, so its use is increasing in the field of concrete technology drastically. Numerous studies found that the use of nanomaterials in concrete improves the strength, durability, and other mechanical properties. The nanomaterials are beneficial to improvements in strength characteristics of the concrete. The studies found that different nanomaterials used in different amounts in concrete and kept at a temperature of 12000C then concrete tolerate high temperatures up to 4000C. The nanomaterials possess the tendency to accelerate the hydration reaction and fill the micropores, so they create the dense microstructural concrete. More the denser concrete more its strength. By doing comparative studies on nanomaterials found that some nanomaterials have unique property such as nano-zinc oxide act as a corrosion inhibitor and nano-alumina controls the setting time. All these aspects make nanomaterials added concrete essentials and sustainable materials for construction purposes.
