ACTERIZATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF CARBON
NANOMATERIALS ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF CEMENT STONE

The influence of adding carbon nanomaterials to a cement 
stone on the mechanical properties of the latter has been studied. 
Two test methods have been used: nanoindentation and ultrasonic testing. 
The obtained results were compared with those of other authors.

Keywords: carbon nanomaterials, cement paste, nanoindentation, 
ultrasonic test.
