Abstract
In this research, nano silica and glass powder have been used to improve the compressive strength and other physical characteristics of concrete. In order to increase the density of the concrete after gaining strength, it is combined with nano silica and glass powder with percentages of 5, 10, 15 and 20, as well as glass powder with the same percentages. The next samples were also prepared by combining nano-silica with glass powder instead of silica. In this research, a total of 324 concrete cube samples of 5 cm diameter have been prepared and compressive strength, carbonation, melting and freezing tests have been performed on them and the results have been extracted. According to the results of the Sn4 sample in the experiments, the best and the Sng4 sample obtained the weakest combination
