This paper discusses the effect of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) on compressive strength of mortar.The carbon nanotubes also be used as a conductive material and that could be used for developing a sensing property ofmortar. Dispersion of MWCNT with cement is done by Sonication process. Same amount of surfactants is added forgood dispersion of MWCNT with Cement. The compressive strength is increase by adding 0.75 % MWCNT by weight ofcement. Results shows of 7 days compressive strength of MWCNT mortar mix is similar to 28 days compressive strengthof conventional mortar mix, and a good conductivity achieved by carbon nanotubes.
