Abstract This study was conducted to improve the workability of cementitious composites using nano-bubble water. The used nano-bubble water contains 7% of nano-sized bubbles with an averaged bubble size of 750 nm. Various different types of cementitious composites including ultar-high performance concrete, lightweight cementitious composites, and high-strength mortar have been tested to identify the changes of material properties. From the use of nano-bubble water, it was confirmed that workability has been improved by 3-22%. On the other hand, other material characteristics such as compressive strength did not have noticeable changes. Therefore, it was proposed that the use of nano-bubble water can enhance workability of cementitious composites without having significant impact on other material properties.
