Elevated temperatures pose a considerable risk to the mechanical and durability properties of cement-based composites, resulting in irreversible degradation and possibly structural collapse. Different techniques have been employed to avoid decay and enhance the ability of cement-based composites to withstand high temperatures. Nano-reinforcement offers more pronounced benefits than traditional materials, as it effectively prevents cracks starting on a smaller scale. Graphene oxide (GO) is one such nanoparticle technology that is seeing significant growth. GO consists of monolayered hydrogen, carbon and oxygen atoms, which are formed through the oxidation of graphite crystals.
The study analyzes various publications concerning the characteristics of GO in different environments.
The behavior of concrete due to the addition of GO under high-temperature conditions is identified.
This work fulfills an identified need to study how the structure can withstand high-temperature conditions in our day-to-day lives. It also focuses on addressing the advancement of GO in concrete under fire resistance. The existing work can serve as the foundation for future research and provide recommendations for sustainable design.
