A lot of research has been done on the use of nanomaterial’s in high-performance concrete (HPC) because of their huge surface areas, small particle sizes, filling effects, and macro quantum tunneling effects. The addition of nanoparticles to HPC has a significant positive impact on the cementitious matrix's pore size, cement hydration, and matrix density. This paper described recent advances in HPC and examined the effects of various nanomaterial’s on HPC properties based on more than 100 recent studies in order to provide a thorough understanding of the viability of HPC reinforced with nanomaterials. The attributes of HPC containing nanoparticles, including their fresh and hardened characteristics are thoroughly examined. Additionally, HPC enhanced with nanomaterials was contrasted with conventional concrete, yielding a wealth of useful information. The findings of the present review show that adding different nanomaterial’s enhances HPC's mechanical characteristics while decreasing its workability. The right amount of nanomaterial can, however, help HPC's mechanical properties. In the future, it is anticipated that adding nanomaterial’s to HPC will become a common practise to enhance its capabilities. The application of this new HPC in contemporary civil engineering can be encouraged by this literature review in particular along with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) like Nano-Silica(NS), GGBS and Alcoffine are presented and reported, which can offer researchers and engineers working on HPC thorough and organised knowledge.
