Abstract

In this study, properties of graphene cement composites were investigated. Studies were made on graphene cement composites having graphene of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1% by weight of cement in cement mortar mix 1:3. Properties of various constituents used in the study were determined. Compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength for the graphene cement composites were evaluated and compared with that of the reference cement mortar. Results showed an improvement in the properties of graphene cement composites over the reference cement mortar.
