	%X In this research the effects of adding silica and
alumina nanoparticles on flow ability and compressive strength of
cementitious composites based on Portland cement were investigated.
In the first stage, the rheological behavior of different samples
containing nanosilica, nanoalumina and polypropylene, polyvinyl
alcohol and polyethylene fibers were evaluated. With increasing of
nanoparticles in fresh samples, the slump flow diameter reduced.
Fibers reduced the flow ability of the samples and viscosity
increased. With increasing of the micro silica particles to cement
ratio from 2/1 to 2/2, the slump flow diameter increased. By adding
silica and alumina nanoparticles up to 3% and 2% respectively, the
compressive strength increased and after decreased. Samples
containing silica nanoparticles and fibers had the highest compressive
strength.
