Graphene oxide (GO) may have a huge impact in construction industry in near future. Because of the oxygenated functionalities attached on the aromatic structure, it has better dispersibility property than any other graphene-based derived. Many of the researchers have given their views on the influence of GO on the mechanical and durability properties in ceramic matrix. Five mixes were prepared with inclusion of GO (0%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.06% and 0.08% by weight of cement). Tests on mechanical and water permeation properties were conducted. The compressive and tensile strength of the mix with 0.08% GO has shown a better result compared to rest of the mixes. The sorptivity and permeability of the nano-reinforced concrete mixes in addition of GO were observed to have reduced with increasing GO content in the concrete compared to the control mix. The synthesized GO was structurally characterized by means of FE-SEM/EDX, FT-IR and XRD. Microstructural analysis was carried out using SEM/EDX on 90 days old concrete mixes and the quality of the concrete mixes was checked with UPV test.
