How Can Nanotechnology Improve Structural Integrity and Aid in Building Recovery?
Nanotechnology can significantly enhance the durability and resilience of building materials. For example, incorporating nanocomposites into construction materials can improve their strength and flexibility, making buildings more resistant to damage. After a disaster, nanotechnology can be employed to quickly assess structural damage using nondestructive testing methods, such as nanomaterial-based sensors that detect cracks and other forms of stress.
