Supplementary materials (SMs) have been widely used all over the world in ready-mixed concrete due totheir economic and environmental benefits; hence, they have drawn much attention in recent years. Durability ofconcrete is defined as its ability to resist weathering action, chemical attack, abrasion or any other process ofdetoriation. It also includes the effects of quality and serviceability of concrete when exposed to sulphate and chlorideattacks. Supplementary materials may contain fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), Nano Silica, ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBFS), rice husk ash (RHA), metakaolin (MK) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), to name a few. In thisreviewed paper we study on the concept how to enhance the durability of concrete and mortar mix with supplementarymaterials as additive and study about using supplementary materials and its applications and its effect on concreteproperties. Paper discussed about Nano Silica used as supplementary material admixture in concrete.
